Crystal is going away

She's taken her shoes and roses

She's grown and she's making her way

While I'm watching in the shade

Will I ever know if she's made it?

Life, life ain't so easy

Life, life ain't easy at all

Ain't no joke at all

Crystal is still on the train

She's reading her dreams by the window

Her toys are blurred by the strain

Of some secret in her mind

Will she ever know if she's made it?

'Cause life, life ain't so easy

Life, life ain't easy at all

Ain't no joke at all

There we go, went round and round

Ash and water we are

Are we after that warm heartbeat

That we left behind the storm?

(Storm, storm, storm, storm, storm)

Life, life, life ain't so easy

Life ain't no, life ain't no

Life ain't easy at all

Ain't no joke at all

Crystal's smile has no end

She looks up to me with emotion

Her wounds have been healed by the wind

And she won't look back again

Will we ever know if she's made it?

'Cause life, life ain't so easy

Life, life ain't easy at all

'Cause life, life ain't so easy

Life, life ain't easy at all

Ain't no joke at all
