《The Boxer(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Emmerson Nogueira

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

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

[00:00:13] For a pocketful of mumbles

[00:00:16] Such are promises

[00:00:19] All lies and jest still the man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:24] And disregards the rest

[00:00:34] When I left my home and family

[00:00:37] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:39] In the company of strangers

[00:00:42] In the quiet of the railway station running scared

[00:00:48] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the raggedpeople go

[00:00:55] Looking for the places only they would know

[00:01:00] La la li

[00:01:03] La la la la li la li

[00:01:05] La la li

[00:01:08] La la la la la la li la la la li

[00:01:16] Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job

[00:01:21] But I get no offers

[00:01:24] Just a come on from the whores on seventh avenue

[00:01:30] I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:34] I took some comfort there

[00:01:37] Oooh la la la

[00:02:10] La la li

[00:02:13] La la la la li la li

[00:02:15] La la li

[00:02:18] La la la la la la li la la la li

[00:02:26] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone

[00:02:31] Going home where the new york city winters aren't bleedin' me

[00:02:40] Leadin' me to goin' home

[00:02:54] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:02:59] And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down

[00:03:04] Or cut him 'til he cried out 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] La la li

[00:03:23] La la la la li la li

[00:03:25] La la li

[00:03:28] La la la la la la li la la la li

[00:03:33] La la la la li la li

[00:03:35] La la li

[00:03:38] La la la la la la li la la la li

[00:03:44] La la la la li la li

[00:03:46] La la li

[00:03:49] La la la la la la li la la la li

[00:03:54] La la la la li la li

[00:03:57] La la li

[00:03:59] La la la la la la li la la la li
