《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Shindig Society

[00:00:06] I am just a poor boy

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

[00:00:10] 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

[00:00:24] And disregards the rest

[00:00:35] When I left my home

[00:00:37] And my family

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

[00:00:40] In the company of strangers

[00:00:43] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:46] Running scared

[00:00:49] Laying low

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

[00:00:53] 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

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

[00:01:19] I e looking for a job

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

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

[00:01:27] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:31] I do declare

[00:01:32] There were times when I was so lonesome

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

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

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

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

[00:02:31] 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

[00:02:54] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:56] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:59] And he carries the reminders

[00:03:02] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:03:04] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:03:07] In his anger and his shame

[00:03:09] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:03:12] But the fighter still remains

[00:03:20] Lie-la-lie
