I Am... I Said (Live) - Neil Diamond
[Live Performance @ Hot August Night III - The Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA - August 24th, 2012]
Lyrics:
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"

00:00That's music to my ears.
00:15L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most of the time.
00:21And the feeling is laid back.
00:22Palm trees grow and rents are low, but you know, I keep thinking about making my way back.
00:37Well, I'm New York City born and raised.
00:41Nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
00:44L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home. New York's home, but it ain't mine no more.
00:55I am a sin to no one there.
01:10And no one heard at all, not even the chair.
01:16I am, I cried. I am, said I.
01:32And I am lost and I can't even say why.
01:38They're leaving me lonely still.
02:00Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king?
02:04And who became one?
02:12Well, except for the names and a few other changes, if you talk about me,
02:18the story's the same one.
02:23But I've got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried, but it won't let me go.
02:34And I'm not a man who likes to swear, but I never cared for the sound of being alive.
02:45I am a sin to no one there.
02:56And no one heard at all, not even the chair.
03:03I am, I cried. I am, said I.
03:17And I am lost and I can't even say why.
03:23They're leaving me lonely still.
03:45It is fine, the sun shines most of the time.
03:48I am, I cried. I am, said I.
04:02Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king?
04:18And who became one?
