《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:07] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:08] Though my story's seldom told

[00:00:11] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:13] For a pocketful of mumbles'

[00:00:16] Such are promises

[00:00:19] All lies and jest

[00:00:21] Still' a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:25] And disregards the rest

[00:00:27] Mmm

[00:00:28] Mmm

[00:00:36] When I left my home

[00:00:37] And my family

[00:00:38] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:41] In the company of strangers'

[00:00:44] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:47] Running scared

[00:00:50] Laying low'

[00:00:51] Seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:54] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:56] Looking for the places

[00:00:58] Only they would know

[00:01:02] Lie-la-lie

[00:01:04] Lie-la-lie

[00:01:17] Asking only workman's wages'

[00:01:20] I come looking for a job

[00:01:22] But I get no offers

[00:01:25] Just a come-on from the whores

[00:01:27] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:31] I do declare'

[00:01:33] There were times

[00:01:34] When I was so lonesome

[00:01:36] I took some comfort there

[00:01:38] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:11] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:13] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:26] Then I'm laying out

[00:02:28] My winter clothes

[00:02:29] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:32] Going home'

[00:02:34] Where the New York City winters

[00:02:36] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:40] Leading me

[00:02:44] Going home

[00:02:53] In the clearing stands a boxer'

[00:02:55] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:58] And he carries the reminders

[00:03:01] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:03:03] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:03:06] In his anger and his shame'

[00:03:08] "I am leaving' I am leaving "

[00:03:11] But the fighter still remains

[00:03:13] Mmm

[00:03:18] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:26] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:30] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:36] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:41] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:46] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:51] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:56] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
