Both Sides Now

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
Cos every fairytale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
And you leave em laughing when you go
And if you can don't let them know
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
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends
They're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they tell me
That I've changed
Well something's lost
But something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and loose
And still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
At all

It's life's illusions
That I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life
At all
