Judy Collins - Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But 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 illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds
at all

Moons and June's and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing where you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now, it's just another show
You leave 'em 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

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
But now, old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well, somethings lost but somethings gained
in living everyday
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

Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But 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 illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds
at all

Moons and June's and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing where you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now, it's just another show
You leave 'em 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

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
But now, old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well, somethings lost but somethings gained
in living everyday
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
