Lyrics
Lion In The Winter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a lion in the winter I can hear the summer call
Like a ship out on the ocean made of stone
And sometimes when I get lonely I can swear I hear you call
Oh the nights are cold when you don't keep me warm
And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
And you carried that lie for the devil to sing
Some sail rivers deep and muddy some sail rivers clear and cold
But the river that I'm sailin' goes to sea
And sometimes I do grow weary sometimes I feel old
And sometimes I wonder if you think of me
And when I first saw you I first loved you
Like a lion in the winter I can hear the summer call
And when I first saw you I first loved you
