THE HUNGER Steve Holy She hates being on her own But she does her best Empty nights create the hunger for love and tender-ness She spends so much time alone She says it makes her wonder If she'll ever find someone who'll make her feel alive Satisfy the hunger He always reads a lot at night But he gets tire of it An empty house deepens his desire for true companion-ship When he sees him-self in the mirror He don't look no younger He just keeps on fighting the fear that he'll go through life Not satisfy the hunger Oh the hunger The need for loving arms Oh the hunger Longing for con-tentment of the heart Go to Lead She picks up a second job at the all night diner Anything she could do to fill the empty hours And then by chance her destiny stares across the counter Lives are change by what they see in each other's eyes They recognize the hunger Go to chorus Yeah the hunger
