I Eat Dinner Lyrics - Heartbeats Accelerating - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

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 smalltalk 

When the hunger's gone 

I eat dinner 

At the kitchen table 

And I wash it down with pop 

I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes 

No more candlelight 

No more romance 

No more smalltalk 

When the hunger stops 

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 gray 

It used to be so dark 

So dark 

No more candlelight 

No more romance 

No more smalltalk 

When the hunger's gone 

No more candle light 

No more romance 

No more smalltalk 

When the hunger's gone 

When the hunger's gone 

Never thought that I'd end up like this 

I who loved the night 

Never thought I'd be without a kiss 

No one to turn off the light 

Turn off the light 

I eat dinner 

At the kitchen table 

With my daughter 

Who is thirteen 

We eat leftovers 

With mashed potatoes 

No more candlelight 

No more romance 

No more smalltalk 

When the plate is clean 

No more candlelight 

No more romance 

No more smalltalk 

When the hunger's gone 

When the hunger's gone
