I eat dinner at the kitchen table
By the light that switches on I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger’s gone
I eat dinner at the kitchen table
And I wash it down with pie
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger stops
Never thought
That I’d end up this way
I who loved the sparks
Never thought my hair’d be turning to gray
Used to be so dark
So dark
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger’s gone
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the hunger’s gone
When the hunger’s gone
Never thought
That I’d end up like this
I who love the night
Never thought I’d be without a kiss
No one to turn out the light
Turn out the light
I eat dinner at the kitchen table
With my daughter
It was thirteen
We eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more small-talk
When the plate is clean
When the hunger’s gone
When the hunger’s gone
