[Verse 1]
             
I’m telling yo

             
u these things

             
 that I tell n

o one else
             
When I’m all a

              
lone, when I’m

 
 by myself
             
And I believe

ough I have no

 proof

el inside that

             
’s telling me 

    
the truth


[Chorus]
             
If I listen an

If I try to sw

              
im the ocean a

             
nd cannot reac

      
h the shore
             
If the world i

              
s offered love

             
 but doesn’t u

   
se it
             
Oh Rosetta, wh

[Verse 3]
            
One day I am w

lonely street
             
New York City’

s no-one to me

et
             
And at the cor

[Chorus]
             
If I’m still a

              
nd I cannot he

If I try to pl

              
ease the many 

             
instead of jus

           
t the very few
             
Can you hear m

If I listen an
