Clouds (Both Sides Now)

(альбом: The Wonderful World Of The Osmond Brothers - 1968)

Rows and flows of angels' hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

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's 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

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 love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Dreams and schemes
And feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Tears and fears
And circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads
And say I've changed
Well, something's lost
But something's gained
I see it every day

I've looked at life
From both sides now
From win or lose
And still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
