The Hungry Years Lyrics

The Hungry Years lyrics

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
