《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)

[00:00:02] Written by：Paul Simon

[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 ppromises

[00:00:19] All lies and jest

[00:00:20] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:35] When I left my home

[00:00:36] 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

[00:00:49] Laying low

[00:00:51] Seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:53] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:56] Looking for the place only they would know

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

[00:01:20] I come looking for a job

[00:01:22] But I get no offers

[00:01:25] Just a come-on from the whores

[00:01:28] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:31] I do declare

[00:01:33] There were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:36] I took some comfort there

[00:02:11] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:02:14] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:16] Going home

[00:02:19] Where the New York city winters

[00:02:22] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:26] Leading me leading me

[00:02:29] Going home

[00:02:39] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:41] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:44] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:46] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:02:50] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:52] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:55] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:02:57] But the fighter still remains
