Bows and flows of angel hair, ice-cream castles in the air
And feathered 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, dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show, you leave them 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 win and lose
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" way 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
Well 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
