Joni Mitchell — Both Sides Now

Rows and floes 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 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

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

So far from who I was
From who I love
From who I want to be

So far from all our dreams
From all it means
From you here next to me

So far from seeing home
I stand out here alone
Am I asking for too much

So far from being free
From the past that's haunting me
The future I just can't touch

And if you take my hand
Please pull me from the dark
And show me hope again

We'll run side by side
No secrets left to hide
Sheltered from the pain

Through dark and light I fight to be
So close

Shadows and lies mask you from me
So close

Bathe my skin, the darkness within
So close

The war of our lives no one can win

The missing piece I yearn to find
So close

Please clear the anguish from my mind
So close

But when the truth of you comes clear
So close

I wish my life I'd never come near here
So close

Through dark and light I fight to be
So close

Shadows and lies mask you from me
