Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now lyrics

Rows and floes of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

Ive 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

Ive looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

Its cloud illusions 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

Ive looked at love that way

But now its just another show

You leave em laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

Its loves 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

Ive looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say Ive changed

Well somethings lost, but somethings gained

In living every day

Ive looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

Its lifes illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

Ive looked at life from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

Its lifes illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all
