Judy Collins Both Sides Now
(Clannad & Paul Young)
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 cloud's 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, I've looked at love
that way
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin
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 give and take and still somehow
It's love's 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, I've looked at
life that way
But now old friends are acting strange they shake their
heads, they say
I've changed
But 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
