Carole King No Easy Way Down Lyrics

No Easy Way Down Lyrics

NO EASY WAY DOWN

by Gerry goffin & Carole King



Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky

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 path 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

And there's no one to break your fall

And lead you back home



We all like to climb to the heights, I know

Where a (our?) fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

There is no easy way down

You know you're gonna find

There is no easy way down
