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...
