[Written by Melanie Safka]
[1972]

I am not a poet, living is the poem
I am not a singer, I am in the song
And I've got a story
that I cannot write down
And I'm with you
but I'll always be alone
I may not be right,
but I don't think I am wrong
No I don't think that I,
I don't think that I am wrong

Every note's an answer,
every word's a sign
Every man's a dancer,
following his own time
I've found a tearful language
that translates what I am
And I cried out loud,
but they didn't understand
I cried so hard
I may never try again
I may never try,
I may never try again

Cleansing in the water,
heal me in the light
Mend you ageless daughter,
I've been awake all night
'Cause if your sands are shifting,
I'll need to know what I forgot
I don't want much,
but I need an awful lot
I don't want much,
but I need an awful lot

I've found a tearful language
that translates what I am
And I cried out loud,
but you didn't understand
I cried so hard
I may never try again
I may never try,
I may never die again

I may never, I may never try,
I may never cry again
I may never try,
I may never cry,
I may never die again
I may never cry,
I may never try,
I may never die again
I may never cry again,
I may never
I may never cry,
I may never try,
I may never die again
I may never try,
I may never cry,
I may never cry again

I may never cry again
I may never cry again
