[Verse 1] Bows and flows of angel hair, wispy castles in the air Feather canyons everywhere, I looked on clouds that way But now they only block the sun, they rain and hail on everyone So many things I coulda done, but clouds got in my way [Chorus] I look on clouds from both sides now From up and down but still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all [Verse 2] Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel When every fairy tale comes real, I looked on love that way But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let 'em know, don't give yourself away [Chorus] I look on love from both sides now From win and lose, but still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all [Verse 3] Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I looked on life that way But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, then say I've changed Well, something's lost and something's gained in living every day [Chorus] I look on life from both sides now From win and lose, but still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all [Bridge] This song was written by a long-legged blonde gal named Joni Mitchell Whom I'm proud to call my friend I wrote her a letter, I said, "Joni, I hope you don't I've written a new verse for it 'Cause I'm hitting a half century this year and I have to have something to give my end of the age scale a boost" [Verse 4] Daughter, daughter, don't you know You're not the first to feel just so Ah, let me say before I go, it's worth it anyway Someday we may all be surprised, we'll wake and open up our eyes And then we all will realise the whole world feels this way [Chorus] We've all been living upside down And turned around with love unfound Until we turn and face the sun Yes, all of us, every one
