《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Hit Crew Masters

[00:00:06] 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

[00:00:18] All lies and jest

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

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:31] When I left my home

[00:00:33] And my family

[00:00:34] I was no more than a boy

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

[00:00:40] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:43] Running scared

[00:00:45] Laying low

[00:00:46] Seeking out the poorer quarters

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

[00:00:52] Looking for the places

[00:00:53] Only they would know

[00:00:57] Lie-la-lie

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

[00:01:14] I come looking for a job

[00:01:16] But I get no offers

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

[00:01:22] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:24] I do declare

[00:01:26] There were times

[00:01:27] When I was so lonesome

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

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

[00:01:39] My winter clothes

[00:01:40] And wishing I was gone

[00:01:43] Going home

[00:01:46] Where the New York City winters

[00:01:48] Aren't bleeding me

[00:01:51] Leading me

[00:01:54] Going home

[00:01:57] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:18] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:20] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:23] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:26] Of every glove that laid him down

[00:02:29] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:31] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:34] "I am leaving I am leaving "

[00:02:37] But the fighter still remains

[00:02:42] Lie-la-lie
