The Lions Share — текст песни (Dan Fogelberg)

Grand slam

Your moments at hand

The day holds a costly bargain

Lost lamb

Asking the lions share

Homespun

A prodigal son

Comes begging a humble pardon

But no one

Rises to hear his prayer...



Lone star

Youve 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

Birthrights

To shine in the night -- alone.



Living in the shadows

Of the things that might

Have been

Torn between the blessing

And the curse

You may stop the hunger

But youll never slake

The thirst

For the nectar you remember

But youll 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

Gambles got you

Exile

Far from the sacred grounds...



Living in the shadows

Of the things that might

Have been

Torn between the blessing

And the curse

You may stop the hunger

But youll never slake

The thirst

For the nectar you remember

But youll never taste again.



Grand slam

Your moments at hand

The day holds a costly bargain

Lost lamb

Asking the lions share.
