《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer (拳击手) - Deana Carter

[00:00:11] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:14] Though my story is seldom told

[00:00:16] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:20] For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:28] All lies and jest

[00:00:30] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:34] And disregards the rest

[00:00:49] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:52] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:55] In the company of strangers

[00:00:58] In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared

[00:01:06] Layin' low seekin' out the poorer quarters

[00:01:12] Where the ragged people go

[00:01:15] Lookin' for the places only they would know

[00:01:21] Lie-la-lie

[00:01:42] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:45] I come lookin' for a job

[00:01:48] But I get no offers just a come on

[00:01:54] From the whores on Seventh Avenue

[00:01:59] I do declare there were times

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

[00:02:05] I took some comfort there

[00:02:08] La la la la la la la

[00:02:47] Lie-la-lie

[00:03:07] And I'm layin' out my winter clothes

[00:03:10] And wishin' I was gone goin' home

[00:03:17] Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me

[00:03:25] Leadin' me home goin' home

[00:03:40] In the clearing stands

[00:03:42] A boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:03:47] And he carries the reminders

[00:03:50] Of every glove that laid him down

[00:03:54] Or cut him 'til he cried out

[00:03:57] In his anger and his shame

[00:04:00] "I am leavin' I am leavin'"

[00:04:03] But the fighter still remains still remains

[00:04:15] Lie-la-lie
