《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Berni Flint

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:07] Though my story's seldom told

[00:00:10] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:12] For a pocketful of mumbles

[00:00:15] Such are promises

[00:00:18] All lies and jest

[00:00:20] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:32] When I left my home

[00:00:33] And my family

[00:00:34] No more than a boy

[00:00:37] In the company of strangers

[00:00:39] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:42] Running scared

[00:00:46] Laying low

[00:00:47] Seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:49] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:52] Looking for the places

[00:00:54] Only they would know

[00:01:11] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:13] I come looking for a job

[00:01:15] But I get no offers

[00:01:19] Just a e-on from the whores

[00:01:20] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:24] I do declare

[00:01:26] There were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:29] I took some comfort there

[00:01:38] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:01:40] Wishing I was gone

[00:01:42] Going home

[00:01:45] Where the New York City winters

[00:01:47] Aren't bleeding me

[00:01:51] Leading me

[00:01:55] Going home

[00:01:59] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:02] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:04] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:07] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:02:09] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:11] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:14] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:02:16] But the fighter still remains

[00:02:20] Yeah the fighter still remains
