Píseň: The Lion's Share

Interpret:
Dan Fogelberg
Album:
The Innocent Age
Grand slam, your moment's at hand, the day holds a costly bargain
Lost lamb asking the lion's share
Homespun, a prodigal son, comes begging a humble pardon
But no one rises to hear his prayer
Lone star, you've wandered so far and long in the unfamiliar
That now you travel a map unknown
Starbright, a constant delight to those in the dark
And still your birthright's to shine in the night alone


[Chorus:]
Living in the shadows of the things that might have been
Torn between the blessing and the curse
You may stop the hunger but you'll never slake the thirst
For the nectar you remember but you'll never taste again


Nonesuch, your Midas' touch, has gilded your heart and left you
So much playing the prince of clowns
Hell-bent, empty and spent, just look what your gamble's got you
Exile far from the sacred grounds


[Chorus]


Grand slam, your moment's at hand, the day holds a costly bargain
Lost lamb, asking the lion's share
