The Hungry Years |
| Girl we made it to the top |
| We went so high we couldn’t stop |
| We climbed the ladder leading us no-owhere |
| Two of us together, building castles in the air-air-air |
| We spun so fast we couldn’t tell |
| The gold ring from the carousel |
| How could we know the ride would turn out bad |
| Everything we wanted, was everything we had |
| I miss the hungry years, The once upon a time |
| The lovely long ago, We didn’t have a dime |
| Those days of me and you, We lost along the way-ay-ay |
| How could I be so blind, Not to see the door-oor-oor |
| Closing on the world, I now hunger for |
| Looking through my tears-ears, I miss the hungry years |
| We shared our daydreams one by one |
| Making plans was so much fun |
| We set our goals and reached the highest star |
| Things that we were after, were much better from afar-ar-ar-ar |
| Here we stand just me and you |
| With everything and nothing too |
| It wasn’t worth the price we had to pay |
| Honey, take me ho-ome, let’s go back to yesterday-ay-ay |
| I miss the hungry years, The once upon a ti-ime |
| The lovely long ago, We didn’t have a dime |
| Those days of me and you, We lost along the way-ay-ay |
| How could I be so bli-ind, Not to see the door |
| Closing on the world, I now hunger for |
| Looking through my tears-ears, I miss the hungry years |
| I miss the hungry years |
