《The Boxer(2008 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

[00:00:06] I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

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

[00:00:14] On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:18] All lies in jest till a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:24] And disregards the rest

[00:00:32] Well I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy

[00:00:37] In the company of strangers in the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:42] Runnin' scared layin' low seeking out the poor quarters

[00:00:49] Where the ragged people go looking for the places

[00:00:53] Only they would know

[00:00:57] Li la li

[00:00:59] Li la li

[00:01:01] Li la li

[00:01:02]

[00:01:11] Only seeking workman's wages

[00:01:13] I come looking for a job but I get no offers

[00:01:19] Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

[00:01:24] I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome

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

[00:01:37] In a-laying out my winter clothes

[00:01:40] And wishing I was home going home

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

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

[00:01:53] Going home

[00:01:55] Da da da

[00:01:59] Da da da

[00:02:03] Da da da

[00:02:06]

[00:02:16] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:02:21] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:23] Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him

[00:02:27] Till he cried out in his anger and his shame

[00:02:31] I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains

[00:02:39] Li la li

[00:02:41] Li la li

[00:02:43] Li la li
