Dan Fogelberg The Lion's Share
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.
