Neil Diamond – I Am I Said lyrics

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
Leavin' me lonely still
