Lion in Winter

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

You want to 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 you're bending 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, 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

I was a lion in my winter
What good's a lion, lord
Without a crown
