Denver, Boise & Johnson The Bitter End, NY, 1968 "Both Sides Now" 7.2 MB, 3:18 minutes Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell) Bows and throws of angel hair, ice cream castles in the air Feathered 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 might 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 When every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin 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 win and lose 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 my 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 win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all Home | Site Map | Page Menus
