The Lions Share Lyrics by Dan Fogelberg

The Lions Share Lyrics

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Grand slam
    Your moment's at hand
    The day holds a costly bargain
    Lost lamb
    Asking the lion's share.
