Pete Seeger - Both Sides Now lyrics

Your rating:

(Joni Mitchell)

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 could 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 clouds 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 them 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 loves 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
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

Pete Seeger added a verse to Joni Mitchell's song. Here is that verse:

Daughter, daughter, don't you know
You're not the first to feel just so?
So let me say, before I go,
It's worth it anyway.

Some day we all may be surprised
We'll wake and open up our eyes
And then, at last, we'll realize
The whole world feels this way

We've all been living upside down
And turned around, with love unfound
Until we turn and face the sun
Yes, all of us, everyone.
