I Am I Said

The third in the Trust Me series, no musings or description from me. Just the song and the lyrics.
Trust me and check out I Am, I Said by Neil Diamond.

Kudos to my sister Carla J Easton who played this song on her LP Radio show recently - a belter! Check out the new online station HERE

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 is 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 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
