Kate & Anna McGarrigle - I Eat Dinner lyrics

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
