| I’ve been roaming about the streets of New York City
|
| I’ve been strolling down the beaches of South France
|
| I’ve been to the desert, I’ve been to Scandinavia
|
| Some have it all but don’t see what they’re given
|
| Some always lose but still they keep on trying
|
| I wish that I could have that gift of feeling happy
|
| Even if inside you really feel like crying
|
| God knows I’ve tried hard to forgive her
|
| God knows I’ve tried hard to forget her
|
| God knows I’ve loved, God knows I’ve given
|
| God knows I’m mad, God knows I’m driven
|
| I tried to hide away in lonely places
|
| Tried to disappear in crowded city streets
|
| I’ve been seeking comfort in too many cold embraces
|
| Some still feel the warmth upon their skin
|
| Long after the sun’s already gone
|
| I wish that I could have that gift of feeling rich
|
| Even if you hardly have enough to get along
|
| God knows I’ve tried hard to forgive her
|
| God knows I’ve tried hard to forget her
|
| God knows I’ve loved, God knows I’ve given
|
| God knows I’m mad, God knows I’m driven
|
| Wherever I’ve been going to
|
| Trying to escape from you
|
| You’ve been there
|
| You’ve been waiting there… |
