Jacquelyn's Song

There's a lady who walks by the river Dreamin' bout the days gone by She never says much but the death of a dream Is reflected in her pale green eyes There are some things you can talk about Some you just can't say I got a feelin' our reasons for bein' there Are pretty much the same Love is a pendulum, crazy at both ends You're a hero and then you're a clown They'll lift you up high on a pedestal And kick you when you're down Life is a pendulum, crazy at both ends Don't know if I'm up or I'm down Love it or hate it any way that you take it It's a helluva ride my friend Now she lives her life in solitude In a little suburban home She's got no time for all these foolish games That make this little world go round She's seen too many faces in too many places too many dreams go down And she's heard too many I love you's It's just an empty sound Love is a pendulum, crazy at both ends You're a hero and then you're a clown They'll lift you up high on a pedestal And kick you when you're down Life is a pendulum crazy at both ends Don't know if I'm up or I'm down Love it or hate it any way that you take it It's a helluva ride my friend
