The True One - Gene Clark

Changes come so quickly, easily it can seem bizarre

They say there’s a price you pay for going out too far

You can buy a one way ticket out there all alone

And you can sit and wonder why it’s so hard to get back home

Nothing is important lost, that’s not easy to believe

The longer you’re in one place, the harder it is to leave

You can have a thousand cards to pull out of your sleeve

But in the end the loser is the one who does deceive

There’s always a reality in what you are doing

Sometimes it’s so hard to see which one is the true one

I use to treat my friends like I was more than a millionaire

Spending those big ones like I could afford them all upstairs

But what’s been flying high must always touch the ground

Just walk upstairs and ask you’ll be likely directed down

Into the reality of what you are doing

Sometimes it’s so hard to see which one is the true one

There’s always a reality in what you are doing

Sometimes it’s so hard to see which one is the true one
