《The Boxer(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Boxer - Paul Simon

[00:00:23] I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

[00:00:30] I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles

[00:00:35] Such are promises

[00:00:39] All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:43] And disregards the rest hmmmm mmmm

[00:00:55] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:57] I was no more than a boy

[00:01:00] In the company of strangers

[00:01:03] In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared

[00:01:09] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:01:13] Where the ragged people go

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

[00:01:20] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:01:26] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:01:31] La la la la li

[00:01:47] Seeking only workman's wages

[00:01:49] I come looking for a job

[00:01:52] But I get no offers

[00:01:55] Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

[00:02:00] I do declare

[00:02:02] There were times when I was so lonesome

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

[00:02:16] Now the years are rolling by me

[00:02:19] They are rockin' even me

[00:02:22] I am older than I once was and younger than I'll be

[00:02:26] That's not unusual

[00:02:30] No it isn't strange after changes upon changes

[00:02:34] We are more or less the same

[00:02:37] After changes we are more or less the same

[00:02:42] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:02:48] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:02:52] La la la la li

[00:03:19] And I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:03:21] Wishing I was gone goin' home

[00:03:26] Where the New York city winters aren't bleedin' me

[00:03:33] Leadin' me to go home

[00:03:45] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

[00:03:50] And he carries the reminder of every glove

[00:03:54] That laid him down or cut him

[00:03:57] 'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame

[00:04:00] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:04:02] But the fighter still remains

[00:04:11] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:04:16] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:04:21] La la la la li

[00:04:26] Li la la la li la li

[00:04:31] Li la li li la la la li la li

[00:04:36] La la la la li

[00:04:38] Li la la la li la li

[00:04:41] Li la li li la la la li la li
