(From) Both Sides Now — текст песни (Natalie Merchant)

Rows and flows 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
