I Eat Dinner (When the Hunger's Gone) - Rufus Wainwright, Emmylou Harris

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 pop

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

It 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 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

By the light of the TV screen

I 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
