《The Boxer》歌词

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

[00:00:08] Though my story's seldom told

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

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

[00:00:15] Such are promises

[00:00:16] All lies and jest

[00:00:19] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:25] Mmm

[00:00:27] Mmm

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

[00:00:37] And my family

[00:00:38] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:41] 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 places

[00:00:58] Only they would know

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

[00:01:04] Lie-la-lie

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

[00:01:19] I come looking for a job

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

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

[00:01:27] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:31] I do declare

[00:01:32] There were times

[00:01:33] When I was so lonesome

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

[00:02:10] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:15] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:26] Lie-la-lie

[00:02:27] Then I'm laying out

[00:02:29] My winter clothes

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

[00:02:34] Going home

[00:02:35] Where the New York City winters

[00:02:38] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:39] Leading me

[00:02:43] Going home

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

[00:02:55] And a fighter by his trade

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

[00:02:59] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:03:03] 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 "

[00:03:10] But the fighter still remains

[00:03:13] Mmm

[00:03:18] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:23] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:33] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:41] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:03:54] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:04:01] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:04:09] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie

[00:04:26] Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
