Both sides now

星期一晚上開始覺得好疲倦, 口腔乾痛, 昨夜大姪兒離去後, 開始沾寒沾凍, 唉, 原來發燒了,  連忙吃兩顆退燒藥, 上床睡覺, 發了很多奇怪的夢.  輾轉睡到中午, C打電話來, 得悉我病了, GF不在香港, 她於是放工後上來探望我, 並替我買些包點.

C說起好多舊歌, 好多詞曲俱佳.  如First of May, Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by. 不要問我時間如何離去, 年青時聽已隱隱的感到箇中無奈, 現在人到暮年, 真的, and you don't ask the time of day…

我說: 「是, 人生苦短, 不明白為何人要浪費生命, 回頭已是百年身…」

「另外有首歌我好喜歡的, Both sides now, 歌詞好有意思, 妳記得嗎?」

我想了一會:  「記得, 我們好似有夾過這首歌的, 我在網上找找, 讓妳回味一下啦. 」

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.
