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 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 afar
|
|
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 …
