Boughs and flowers 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 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 tombs and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
And 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.
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know love
at all.
Dreams 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, 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 winner,
loser, and still somehow,
It's
life's illusions I recall.
