Both Sides Now Lyrics - Mockingbird - Allison Moorer

Rows and flows 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 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 every 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 

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 tell me that I've changed 

Well somethings lost but somethings 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 

It's life's illusions I recall 

I really don't know life 

I really don't know life at all
