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
