lyrics
he was a child
she was alone
he was on fire
she was a stone
he stood in the street
she walked in the night
she tasted him
he tasted her
and it felt alright
except for the hunger
they were afraid
he was alone
they stayed indoors
he had no home
he walked in the night
she laughed in the street
he meant her no harm
he just wanted some
short-lived relief from the hunger
the years had passed
like drops of rain
his life was long gone
but the hunger remained
it wouldn't relent
he couldn't resist
aching for calm
he stepped into the dawn
to feel the sun's kiss
and escape from the hunger
she was alone
he was on fire
she was a stone
he stood in the street
she walked in the night
she tasted him
he tasted her
and it felt alright
except for the hunger
they were afraid
he was alone
they stayed indoors
he had no home
he walked in the night
she laughed in the street
he meant her no harm
he just wanted some
short-lived relief from the hunger
the years had passed
like drops of rain
his life was long gone
but the hunger remained
it wouldn't relent
he couldn't resist
aching for calm
he stepped into the dawn
to feel the sun's kiss
and escape from the hunger
