Lyrics The Lion Lair - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

The Lion Lair

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
