Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair and ice cream

Castles in the air and feathered 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

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

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
