Both Sides Now - Susan Wong
Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at cloud 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 illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels the dizzy
dancing way that you feel
as every fairy talees real;
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
You 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.
I really don't know love
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
and they tell him that I've changed.
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
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all.
I really don't know life at all.
