Roads and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air Feathered canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way And 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 clouds, illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and dunes 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 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 Give and take and still somehow It's clouds, illusions I recall I really don't know clouds 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 and say I've changed Well, something's lost but something's gained You need it 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 at all *
