Both Sides Now

Joni Mitchell

Audio & Video

Coming soon...

Lyrics

Vertical Divider
Bows 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
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.
