The Hunger

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child
Like a butterfly in springtime
Searching every field for
Lovin's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers
Still could not release her from the hold

In the backstreets and the bedrooms
All she's found is
Disappointment's bitter weeds
While the love that she's too of'en found
Is not enough to satisfy her needs
She's older than the years she holds
And aging fast with each day passing by
On a downhill run to nowhere
Cause the hunger never can be satisfied

The reflection in her mirror's
Not the image she remembers in her mind
Her beauty has been eaten
By the hunger and the acid winds of time

She has danced the tune her demons played
And paid the piper dearly for his song
Empty now of all the pride
But still inside the hunger's just as strong

They said in her younger days
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then
Was not the hunger of some lonely child
Like a butterfly in springtime
Searching every field for
Lovin's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers
Still could not release her from the hold
