I Am

(album: Inside Out - 1967)

I have left the seed of life
From South Hampton to Singapore
And if tomorrow morning comes
I guess I'll leave some more

I'm a captain without an ocean
And a lover without emotion
And a monk free of devotion
But I am, most of all, I am

I have worn the country's colors
In a thousand different ways
I have won the game of life
Upon the table which it plays

I'm a sun without a setting
And a tear without regretting
I'm a mind full of forgetting
But I am, most of all, I am

Forgive me while I kiss away
This thought that's in my head
But it's the only proof I have
That this old man ain't dead

I'm a robin without its wings
And a song nobody sings
To the ivy no one clings
But I am, most of all, I am

Yes I am, most of all, I am
