Clouds (From Both Sides Now)

Rows and flows of angel’s hair
And ice-cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun
They rain and 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’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds
At all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
Now it’s just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care, 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 I recall
I really don’t know love
At all

Dreams and schemes and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Tears and fears and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
Now old friends they’re acting strange
They shake their heads they say 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 lose
And still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life
At all
