The Lion's Share Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

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.
