GLion in my wCinter.
GI'm a lion with no cDrown.
GYou wanna make me big man , Ca star on a screen.
GSome kind of James Brown or Dsomething 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.
[no guitar]
I , I was a lion in winter.
And man I had friends for miles around.
GI was a lion in my Cwinter.
WhGat good's a lion Lord, Dwithout 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.
[no guitar]
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. 
(repeat last verse and fade out )
