(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)

 

Your toy balloon has sailed

In the sky, love

But now it must fall

To the ground

Now your sad eyes reveal

Just how badly you feel

'Cause there is no easy way down

 

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

And there is no easy way down

 

No it isn't very easy

When you're left on your own

No it isn't very easy

When each road you take

Is one more mistake

There's no-one to break your fall

And lead you back home, yeah

 

We all like to climb to the heights of love

Where our fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

That there is no easy way down

 

You know you're gonna find 

There is no easy way down
