I Am...I Said - Single Version

[00:17.29] L.A's fine, sun shines most of the time
[00:23.49] And the feeling is laid back
[00:27.84] Palm trees grow and rents are low
[00:30.11] But you know I keep thinkin' about
[00:33.86] Making my way back
[00:38.59] Well I'm New York City born and raised
[00:42.57] But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
[00:49.29] L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
[00:51.94] New York's home but it ain't mine no more
[00:58.20] "I am", I said
[01:04.81] To no one there
[01:09.29] And no one heard at all
[01:12.92] Not even the chair
[01:17.53] "I am"... I cried "I am"... said I
[01:28.60] And I am lost, and I can't even say why
[01:37.34] Leavin' me lonely still
[01:43.17]
[01:49.46] Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
[01:55.30] And then became one
[02:00.72] Well, except for the names and a few other changes
[02:03.43] If you talk about me, the story's the same one
[02:11.25] But I got an emptiness deep inside
[02:13.82] And I've tried but it won't let me go
[02:20.87] And I'm not a man who likes to swear
[02:24.10] But I've never cared for the sound of being alone
[02:30.29] "I am"... I said
[02:35.16] To no one there
[02:40.89] And no one heard at all, not even the chair
[02:49.59] "I am"... I cried
[02:54.56] "I am"... said I
[03:00.25] And I am lost, and I can't even say why
[03:08.55] "I am"... I said
[03:14.35] "I am"... I cried
[03:19.55] "I am"... I said
[03:25.01]
