clover rings...




pigs, puppies, a butterfly,
kentucky floating in the sky,
and the face of God no lie.
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

honeysuckle, clover rings
shoo fly pie and a fairy's wings
soft quilt pallets and other things
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

rose colored glasses, pony-tails
grandmothers' love that never fails
a wedding gown and painted nails
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 al

(both sides now II... a collaboration with joni mitchell;)

love and God's blessings,
