Rose and flows of angel hair
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
I've been down and still somehow
It's clouds everywhere
Allusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and jewels and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love
I've looked at love
I've looked at love
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 steal somehow
It's clouds, illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds
I don't know love 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
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
Win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
And now
I really don't know life
I really don't know life
At all
