《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:03] 《The Boxer》- Simon and Garfunkel

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy.

[00:00:07] Though my story's seldom told,

[00:00:10] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:12] For a pocketful of mumbles,

[00:00:15] Such are promises

[00:00:19] All lies and jest

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

[00:00:23] 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,

[00:00:48] 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.

[00:01:01] CHORUSLie-la-lie.....

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

[00:01:19] 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,

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

[00:01:35] I took some comfort there.

[00:02:10] CHORUS Lie-la-lie.....

[00:02:24] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:02:28] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:30] Going home

[00:02:33] Where the New York City winters

[00:02:35] Aren't bleeding me,

[00:02:39] Leading me,

[00:02:43] Going home.

[00:02:50] In the clearing stands a boxer,

[00:02:54] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:57] And he carries the reminders

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

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

[00:03:05] In his anger and his shame,

[00:03:07] I am leaving, I am leaving.

[00:03:10] But the fighter still remains

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