The Lion Lair Lyrics - Bonnie Prince Billy

I took road and said goodbye 

Friends go one way, I went mine 

I got lost then very quickly 

Started shaking, feeling sickly 

In the lion lair, in the lion lair 

Watch your own self and take care 

I am outside, almost one 

With all the life in the lion lair 

All alone and all around 

Canyon clept above the ground 

There was treeless flat around me 

And no evil came and found me 

In the lion lair, in the lion lair 

Watch your own self and take care 

I am outside, almost one 

With all the life in the lion lair 

Stars came out in midday burning 

Earth grumbled stones were churning 

Colors red were rocks and sky 

And powered glint infused the eye 

Had himself in no time 

Hand on shaft and gripped his ball 

Wished your mouth would come down on it 

Feel your lips sink warm upon it 

In the lion lair, in the lion lair 

Watch your own self and take care 

I am outside, almost one 

With all the life in the lion lair 

Beast and bird they called me kin 

Bathed me and they tucked me in 

Laid down on the forest ground 

Stars above, they shone on down 

In the lion lair, in the lion lair 

Watch your own self and take care 

I am outside, almost one 

With all the life in the lion lair 

In the lion lair, in the lion lair 

Watch your own self and take care 

I am outside, almost one 

With all the life in the lion lair
