(Joni Mitchell) Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev'rywhere I've looked at clouds that way | | But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on ev'ryone 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 ev'ry fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way | | But now it's just another show You leave 'em 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 give and take, 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" 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 ev'ry 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 I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all |
Hands down the greatest songwriter of all time.
