Rows and flows of angel hairs,
And I've seen [D] them pass the world [G] in the air,
In 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 [C] things [G] I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
[D] On both [G] sides now,
It's still somehow,
It's called illusions.
I recall, I really don't know clouds.
Moons and junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes [A] real.
[G]
I've looked at love that way,
But now it's just another show.
You leave them [A] laughing [G] when you go,
And if you [C] [G]
don't give yourself away.
On both sides now,
It's still somehow,
It's called illusions.
I recall, I really don't know love at all.
Moons and junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy [D] dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes real.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
Say I [A] love you [G] right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
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 gaining,
And living every day.
And still some of those illusions,
I recall, I really don't know love [A] [G] at all.
And I've seen [D] them pass the world [G] in the air,
In 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 [C] things [G] I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
[D] On both [G] sides now,
It's still somehow,
It's called illusions.
I recall, I really don't know clouds.
Moons and junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes [A] real.
