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...
