《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - The Piddletown Brothers

[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

[00:00:12] For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:17] All lies and jests

[00:00:18] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:20] And disregards the rest

[00:00:27] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:29] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:31] In the company of strangers

[00:00:33] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:35] Running scared

[00:00:38] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:41] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:43] Looking for the places

[00:00:45] Only they would know

[00:00:47] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:00:51] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:00:58] Asking only workman's wages

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

[00:01:02] But I get no offers

[00:01:04] Just a come-on from the whores

[00:01:06] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:09] I do declare

[00:01:10] There were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:12] I took some comfort there le le le le le le le

[00:01:39] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:01:44] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:01:50] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:01:52] And wishing I was gone

[00:01:54] Going home

[00:01:56] Where the New York City winters

[00:01:58] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:01] Leading me

[00:02:04] Going home

[00:02:11] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:13] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:15] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:17] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:02:19] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:21] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:23] "I am leaving I am leaving"

[00:02:25] But the fighter still remains

[00:02:27] Le le le le le le le

[00:02:31] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:02:36] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie

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

[00:02:44] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:02:50] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:02:54] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:02:59] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:03:03] Lie la lie lie la la la la lie la la lie
