No Easy Way Down - Dusty Springfield

Your toy balloon has sailed

In the sky now

But now it must fall to the ground

Now your sad eyes reveal

Just how badly you feel

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

And now it isn’t very easy

When you find yourself on your own

No, it isn’t very easy

When each boat you take

Is one more mistake

There’s no one to break your fall

Lead you back home

We all like to climb

To the heights of love.

dear

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

I know it isn’t very easy

When you find yourself out 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

We all like to climb

To the heights of love, dear

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

There is no easy way down
