Sharon Shannon: "Galway Girl"

and I ask you, friend,
what's a fella to do
'cause her hair was black
and her eyes were blue
so i took her hand
and i gave her a twirl
and i lost my heart
to a Galway girl

Joni Mitchell: "Both Sides Now"

bows 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 illusions i recall
i really don't know clouds at all

moons and junes and ferris wheels
the dizzy dancing way 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
but now old friends are acting strange
they shake their heads and say i've changed
well something's lost but
something's gained in living everyday
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
