 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,(BVno  easy way down) when  you're left on your own  NEWD
No,  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
