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.
