Both Sides Now
Both Sides Now
Billowing clouds up above
Sometimes smoky or just dust
Bluebirds maneuvering through
While Butterflies withdrew
All my past loves float away
As in vapored clouds today
Becoming concealed by the moon
Only returning in afternoon
Consequently standing here
Between the earth and atmosphere
Taken from my innocence
As I look back and reminiscence
Memories only display
A vivid image I’ll downplay
Recalling this won’t be allowed
I can see from both sides now
Uncertain and feeling confused
Not knowing what my life will do
Covered in a canopy of tears
Wrapped in a trap of fears
Consequently standing here
Between the earth and atmosphere
Taken from my innocence
As I look back and reminiscence
