from both sides now

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 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 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 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
