No Easy Way Down by Scott Walker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky, love
But now it must fall to the ground
And your sad eyes reveal just how badly you feel

[Chorus]
And 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 path is unknown

[Chorus]
And there is no easy way down

[Bridge]
No, it isn't very easy when you're left on your own
Hey, it isn't very easy when each road you take
Is one more mistake and there's no one to break
You fall and leads you back home
[Verse 3]
We all like to fly to the heights, love
Where our fantasy worlds can be found
You must know it's the end when it's time to descend

[Chorus]
And there is no easy way down

[Outro]
There is no easy way down
