No Easy Way Down
Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Goffin & King
[Verse 1]
Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky
Now, it must fall to the ground
And your sad eyes reveal
Just how badly you feel
There is no easy way down
[Verse 2]
The view from the cliffs must have been exciting
And up to the peaks you were bound
Now, you're stranded alone
And the past is unknown
'Cause there is no easy way down
[Bridge]
I know it isn't very easy
When you're left on your own
I know it isn't very easy
When each road you take
Is one more mistake
And there's no one to break your fall
And lead you back home
[Verse 3]
We all love to climb to the heights, love
Where our fantasy world can be found
But you know in the end
When it's time to descend
That there is no easy way down
[Outro]
There is no easy way down
