(Lee J. Fry)
2
They said in her younger days
3
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
4
But the hunger in her body then
5
Was not the hunger of some lonely child.
6
Like a butterfly in springtime
7
Searching every field for loving's sweetest rose
8
The embrace of many strangers
9
Still could not release her from the hold.
10
In the backstreets and the bedrooms
11
All she's found is disappointments bitterly
12
While the love that she's too often found
13
Was enough to satisfy her needs.
14
She's older than the years she holds
15
And ageing fast with each day passing by
16
On a downhill run to nowhere
17
'Cause the hunger never can be satisfied.
18
The reflection in her mirror's not the image
19
She remembers in her mind
20
Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger
21
And the acid winds of time.
22
She has danced the tune her demons played
23
And payed the piper dearly for his song
24
Empty now of all her pride but still inside
25
Her hunger's just as strong.

27
They said in her younger days
28
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
29
But the hunger in her body then
30
Was not the hunger of some lonely child...
