You're leading your life like a rising star

With your head up in the clouds

And your treating your love like an orphan child

Like a heart of floating gold

Like a heart of floating gold

Andyou're fooling around with your fair- weather friends

With your head up high and dry

Andyou're treating their love like an only child

Like a heart of falling glass

Like a heart of falling glass

But time will ease your pain

And time will run down your cheek

And time will ease your strain

And time will fly to come down

Andyou're leaving your alley

Andyou're choosing your way

Andyou're flying in the face of love

Andyou're weaving through your life

Andyou're losing your heart to

To no onewho'll understand

You're leading your life like a falling star

With your head down on the ground

And your treating your love like a stillborn child

Like a heart of broken stone

Like a heart of broken stone

But time will ease your pain

And time will run down your cheek

And time will ease your strain

And time will fly to come down

Andyou're leaving your alley

Andyou're choosing your way

Andyou're flying in the face of love

Andyou're weaving through your life

Andyou're losing your heart to

To no onewho'll understand
