《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - The British Pop Band

[00:00:06] I am just a poor boy

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

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

[00:00:13] For a pocket full of mumbles

[00:00:15] Such are promises

[00:00:19] All lies and jests

[00:00:20] Still a man hears

[00:00:22] What he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And dis regards the rest

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

[00:00:36] And my family

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

[00:00:40] In the company of strangers

[00:00:42] In the quiet of the railway

[00:00:44] Station running scared

[00:00:48] Laying low

[00:00:50] Seeking out

[00:00:51] The poorer quarters

[00:00:52] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:55] Looking for the places

[00:00:57] Only they would know

[00:01:15] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:18] I come looking for a job

[00:01:20] But I get no offers

[00:01:23] Just a come on from the whores

[00:01:25] On seventh avenue

[00:01:29] I do declare

[00:01:31] There were times

[00:01:32] When I was so lonesome

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

[00:02:26] Then I'm laying out

[00:02:28] My winter clothes

[00:02:29] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:31] Going home

[00:02:34] Where the new york city winters

[00:02:36] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:40] Bleeding me

[00:02:44] Going home

[00:02:53] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:56] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:58] And he carries the reminders

[00:03:01] Of ev'ry glove that layed him down

[00:03:04] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:03:06] In his anger and his shame

[00:03:08] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:03:11] But the fighter still remains
