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 clouds illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds
at all.
Moons and Junes
and ferris wheels,
the dizzy dancing way you feel
And every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way.
But 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 win and lose,
and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall,
I really don't know love at all.
<Interlude>
Tears and fears
and feeling proud
to say I love you right and loud
Dreams and schemes and
circus clowns
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are
acting strange
They shake their heads,
they say I've changed.
Well, something's lost,
and 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.
