《The Boxer(Live 1973)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer (Live) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

[00:00:24] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:28] Though my story seldom told

[00:00:30] I squandered my resistance

[00:00:33] For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:39] All lies and jests

[00:00:40] Still a man hears

[00:00:42] What he wants to hear

[00:00:43] And disregards the rest

[00:00:55] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:57] I was no more than a boy

[00:01:00] In the company of strangers

[00:01:03] In the quiet of the railway stations running scared

[00:01:09] Laying low seeking out the poor quarters

[00:01:13] Where the ragged people go

[00:01:15] Looking for the places

[00:01:17] Only they would know

[00:01:47] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:50] I come looking for a job

[00:01:52] But I get no offers

[00:01:55] Just a come on

[00:01:56] From the whores on seventh avenue

[00:02:00] I do declare there were times

[00:02:03] When I was so lonesome

[00:02:04] I took some comfort there

[00:02:16] Now the years are rolling by me

[00:02:19] They are rockin' even me

[00:02:21] I am older than I once was

[00:02:24] And younger than I'll be that's not unusual

[00:02:30] No it isn't strange after changes upon changes

[00:02:34] We are more or less the same

[00:02:37] After changes we are more or less the same

[00:03:19] Then I'm laying down my winter clothes

[00:03:21] And wishing I was home going home

[00:03:26] Where the New York City winters

[00:03:29] Aren't bleeding me leading me going home

[00:03:45] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:03:50] And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down

[00:03:55] And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame

[00:04:00] I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains
