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 look for money you smother me in charms. I can't live on glory when your bendin' both my arms. NO CHORDS 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. you don't want to live man, you gave away the game. NO CHORDS 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.
