Clouds

Rows and flows of angels' hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

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 cloud's 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

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 give and take

And still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

Dreams and schemes

And feeling proud

To say I love you right out loud

Tears and fears

And circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

Now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads

And say I've changed

Well, something's lost

But something's gained

I see it every day

I've looked at life

From both sides now

From win or lose

And still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all
