Linda Ronstadt and Hoyt Axton: Lion in the Winter
ሊንዳ  ሮንስታድት  እና  ሆይት  አክስተን  ===> ላየን  ኢን  ዘ  ዊንተር 

[song written by: Hoyt Axton] 
Like a lion in the winter, I can hear the summer call
Like a ship out on the ocean made of stone,
And sometimes when I get lonely, 
I can swear I hear you call.
Oh, the nights are cold and you don't keep me warm.

And when I first saw you, I first loved you. 
With the song that I sang to the fire in your eyes,
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy 
But you carry that lie for the devil to see.

Some sail rivers deep and muddy. 
Some sail rivers clear and cold,
But the river that I'm sailing goes to sea,
And sometimes I do grow weary. Sometimes I feel old,
And sometimes I wonder if you think of me.


And when I first saw you, I first loved you. 
With the song that I sang to the fire in your eyes,
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy 
And you carry that lie for the devil to see.
