Both Sides Now (Live at Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA, 8/14-17, 1974)

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way once upon a time
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, no
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall
I really don't know love's about at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say to someone, "I love you," right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way, sometimes I still do
Now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed, yes, I have
Something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, from give and take
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know
I really don't know
