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
And you're fooling around with your fair-weather friends
With your head up high and dry
And you'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
And you're leaving your alley
And you're choosing your way
And you're flying in the face of love
And you're weaving through your life
And you're losing your heart to
To no one who'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
And you're leaving your alley
And you're choosing your way
And you're flying in the face of love
And you're weaving through your life
And you're losing your heart to
To no one who'll understand
