 JIMMY BUFFETT - Wondering Where The Lions Are Lyrics

[Originally by Bruce Cockburn]

Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are

Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
[Should be!] they got me thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are

Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away,
Going to sail into eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
17 62123k1162214b 13e

And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
