No Easy Way DownNorah Jones

Songwriter: Carole King Gerry Goffin

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

Norah Jones

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
