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 shon 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
|
