Mama Lion Testo

words and music by Graham Nash
Ý© 1975 Thin Ice Music (ASCAP)


The horns in the fog could be heard if not seen

helping to guide the blind in a dream
And down by the seashore, a banquet she gave
She was feeding and needing a soul she could save

Mama lion, mama lion, IÝ❝m starting to sink
beneath the sunshine and the icicles
in the things that you think
ThereÝ❝s a hole in my destiny
and IÝ❝m out on the brink
Mama lion, mama lion

She bounces off the boulders, she runs on the rocks
SheÝ❝s taking her time from her grandfather clocks
And over the border, and down on the land
SheÝ❝s living in the future
and it lies in her hand

Mama lion, mama lion, IÝ❝m starting to sink
beneath the sunshine and the icicles
in the things that you think
ThereÝ❝s a hole in my destiny
and IÝ❝m out on the brink
Mama lion, mama lion

Mama lion, mama lion, IÝ❝m starting to sink
beneath the sunshine and the icicles
in the things that you think
ThereÝ❝s a hole in my destiny
and IÝ❝m out on the brink
Mama lion, mama lion
