NEIL DIAMOND - I am ... I said lyrics

rate me

LA's fine, sunshine most of the time

The feeling is laid back

Palm trees grow and the rents are low

But you know I keep thinking about

Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised

But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores

LA's fine, but it ain't home

New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even the chair

I am, I cried

I am, said I

And I am lost, and I can't even say why

Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king

And then became one

Well, except for the names and a few other changes

If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside

And I've tried but it won't let me go

And I'm not a man who likes to swear

But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even the chair

I am, I cried

I am, said I

And I am lost, and I can't even say why

I am, I said

I am, I cried

I am...
