The Hungry Years Songtext
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 right 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



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

Making plans was so much fun

We set our goals and reached the highest star

Things that we were after were much better from a far



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 home... 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



I miss the hungry years
