The Lion's 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.
