Lyrics

[00:20.00] Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
[00:34.00] and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at cloud that way.
[00:47.00] But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
[00:59.00] So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
[01:12.00] I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
[01:19.00] from up and down, and still somehow
[01:25.00] it's cloud illusions I recall.
[01:31.00] I really don't know clouds at all.
[01:47.00] Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
[01:58.00] as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
[02:11.00] But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go
[02:23.00] and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
[02:36.00] I've looked at love from both sides now,
[02:41.00] from give and take, and still somehow
[02:48.00] it's love's illusions I recall.
[03:03.00][02:56.00] I really don't know love at all.
[03:17.00] Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
[03:29.00] dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
[03:41.00] But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
[03:51.00] I've changed.
[03:56.00] Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
[04:06.00] I've looked at life from both sides now,
[04:13.00] from win and lose, and still somehow
[04:50.00][04:19.00] it's life's illusions I recall.
[05:08.00][05:00.00][04:26.00] I really don't know life at all.
[05:27.00]
