I Am I Said — текст песни (Neil Diamond)

L.A.`s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is lay back
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin` about
Making my way back

Well I`m New York City born and raised
But nowadays,
I`m lost between two shores
L.A.`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 bein` 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 never cared
For the sound ofbeing 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... I said
