Both Sides Now

[velvett]

'Both Sides Now' - Joni Mitchell

Rows 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 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 that 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.

Oh but now old friends they're 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

Did you become a flower child while you were in California?

I remember singing this song in freshman choir...I still think it's one of the most depressing songs ever.

Both Sides Now by Sammy Hagar:

There's another side to everything
Connected like the ring around your finger
And I know this like I know myself,
Not very well, yet I'm no stranger
But it won't be long, I see both sides now

When nothing's gained, then something's lost
Pay half the price at twice the cost
We're crystallized, we stand alone
Conviction holds us like a stone
I know it won't be long, 'cause I see both sides now

We're always somewhere in between
We never taste, the sweet extreme
We're crystallized, we stand alone
Conviction holds us like a stone
I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

Come on now, you know how beastboy hates lyric threads.
