The Hungry Years

Boy 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 carrousel

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

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 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

And here we stand

Just me and you

With everything and nothing too

It wasn't worth the price

We had to pay

Baby 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
