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.
