The Hungry Years sing and play along
Girl, we made it to the top,
we went so high we couldn't stop,
we climbed the ladder leading us nowhere.
Two of us together, building castles in the 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?
Ev'rything we wanted let's was ev'rything 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.
How could I be so blind not to see the door closing on the world I now hunger for.
Looking through my tears,
I miss the hungry years.
We shared our day dreams one by one we making plans was so much fun;
we set our goals and reached the highest star.
Things that we were after we much better from afar
We Here we stand just me and you with evrything and nothing,
too; it wasn't worth the price we had to pay.
Honey, take me home, ed let's go back to yesterday.
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.
How could I be so blind not to see the door closing on the world I now hunger for.
Looking through my tears,
I miss the hungry years.
We years.
I miss the hungry years.
