Judy Collins ☆ Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
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
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
When every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
And now it’s just another show
You leave them 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
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
And now old friends are acting strange
they shake their heads they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost but
something’s gained in living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life
I really don’t know life at all
