Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

No Easy Way Down

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

And 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

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

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

And there is no easy way down

And there is no easy way down..
