I am ... I said — текст песни (Neil Diamond)

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...
