NEIL DIAMOND - Both Sides Now lyrics

rate me

(Joni Mitchell)

Bows and flows of angel hair

ice cream castles in the air

feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun

They rain 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's illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels

The dizzy dancin' way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show

leave 'em 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 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

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

And say I've changed

something's lost

When something's gained

In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

From give and take and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all
