[Dan Fogelberg - 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
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
