《The Hunger》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hunger - Charley Pride/Joe Diffie

[00:00:08] They said in her younger days

[00:00:12] Her beauty was enough to drive men wild

[00:00:19] But the hunger in her body then

[00:00:24] Was not the hunger of some lonely child

[00:00:31] Like a butterfly in springtime

[00:00:34] Searching every field for lovin' sweetest rose

[00:00:42] The embrace of many strangers

[00:00:45] Still could not release her from the hold

[00:00:57] In the back streets and the bedrooms

[00:01:00] All she's found is disappointments bitter weeds

[00:01:07] While the love that she's too often found

[00:01:12] Is not enough to satisfy her needs

[00:01:19] She's older than the years she holds

[00:01:24] And aging fast with each day passing by

[00:01:30] On a downhill run to nowhere

[00:01:34] 'Cause the hunger never can be satisfied

[00:01:45] The reflection in her mirror's

[00:01:48] Not the image she remembers in her mind

[00:02:00] Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger

[00:02:05] And the acid winds of time

[00:02:14] She has danced the tune the demons play

[00:02:19] And paid the piper dearly for his song

[00:02:27] Empty now of all the pride

[00:02:31] Still inside the hunger's just as strong

[00:02:41] They said in her younger days

[00:02:46] Her beauty was enough to drive men wild

[00:02:52] But the hunger in her body then

[00:02:57] Was not the hunger of some lonely child

[00:03:04] Like a butterfly in springtime

[00:03:07] Searching every field for lovin' sweetest rose

[00:03:15] The embrace of many strangers

[00:03:18] Still could not release her from the hold
