Both Sides Now (Live at Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA, 8/14-17, 1974) (Live)

Both Sides Now (Live) - Joni Mitchell (瓊尼·米契兒)

Rows 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 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 that 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 once upon a time

But now it's just another show

You leave 'em laughing when you go

And if you care don't let them know

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 what love's about at all

Tears and fears and feelin' proud

To say to someone I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

Sometimes I still do

Now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads and they tell me

That I have changed yes I have

Something's lost but something's

Gained in livin' every day

I've looked at love from both sides now

From up and down and give and take

From win and lose and still somehow

It's love's illusions that I recall

I really don't know I really don't know
