Lion in my winter.
I'm a lion with no crown.

You wanna make me big man , a star on a screen.
Some kind of james brown or something in between.
But when i ask for money you smother me in charms.
I can't live on glory when your bendin' both my arms.

I , i was a lion in winter.
And man i had friends for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good's a lion lord, without a crown.

You're living in a cave man ,upon your marble throne.
You think you own the heavens, but you've got to be alone.
You know i prayed for sunshine, a woman with my name.
I don't want to live man, you gave away the game.

I, i was a lion in winter.
And man i had friends for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good's a lion lord , without a crown.
