Both Sides Now lyrics

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel

And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine

This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new

And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine

My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed

And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Who do I know in Dallas who can I call on the phone

Who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget she's gone
Shirley consoled me in Phoenix and Jeannie in old San Antone

But who do I know in Dallas that will help me forget that I'm alone

[ steel ]

I can't spend the night without someone the lonelies will drive me insane

So who do I know in Dallas that will make me be happy I came

Once more with feeling once more with feeling

Won't you hold me till the night fades into day
Once more with feeling once more with feeling

Hold me close don't let this feeling go away

Sometimes myself runs back to you I just can't tell me what to do

But I remember when all wrapped up tight within

The shelter of my arms you used to stay

Once more with feeling...

It's a bloody mary morning baby let me without warning sometime in the night

So I'm flyin' down to Houston with forgetting her the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway with the smog and haze reminding me of how I feel

Just a country boy who's learnin' that the pitfalls of the city are extremely real

One has my name and the other has my heart

With one I'll remain that's when my heartaches start
One has brown eyes and the other's eyes're blue

To one I am tied to the other I am true

One has my love and the other only me

But what good is love to a heart that can't be free

So I'll go on living my life's just the same

While one has my heart and the other has my name

I know not where on earth to find you I know not how or where to start

I only know I'm here without you and there's pins and needles in my heart

The days and nights are growing longer since first you said that we must part

And now you're smiling at another and there's pins and needles in my heart

I know not where on earth...

[ ac.guitar ]

I know not where on earth...

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it cause I know just what I'm gonna do

I'll start to spend my money call evrybody honey and wind up singing the blues

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck and brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Bows and flows of angel hair ice cream castles in the air

And feathered canyons everywhere I'd look at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done the 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 delision I recall I really don't know cloud at all

Everybody's talkin' bout me I don't hear a word they're sayin'

Only the echoes in my mind

Everybody stops to starin' I don't even see their faces only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' through the fallin' rain

Going where the weather suits my clothes

Bankin' off the northeast wind and sailin' on summer breeze

Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

When we look into each other's eyes

Our hearts aren't beating wildly as they beat before

And when we hold each other in our arms
We can't receive the same vibrations anymore

And when we hear each other speak our names

We don't hear the ringing and the singing of a million bells

Perhaps our hearing's failing us perhaps we're hearing other things but who can tell
