Dan Fogelberg - The Lion's Share lyrics

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
