| Lion in my winter | |
| I'm a lion with no crown | |
| You wanna make me big, man, a star on the screen | |
| Some kind of James Brown or somethin' 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 | |
| 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 | |
| You don't wanna 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, a lion in winter | |
| What good's a lion, Lord, without a crown? | |
| I was a lion, a lion in winter | |
| But what good's a lion, Lord, without a crown? | |
| Oh, I was a lion, Lord | |
