《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boxer - Simon

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

[00:00:10] I've squandered my resistance

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

[00:00:15] Such are promises

[00:00:19] All lies and jest

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

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:35] When i left my home 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 runnin scared

[00:00:49] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters

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

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

[00:01:01] Lie la lie

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

[00:01:09] La la lie la lie

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

[00:01:19] I come lookin for a job but i get no offers

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

[00:01:31] I do declare there were times when i was so lonesome

[00:01:35] I took some comfort there

[00:01:37] Lie la lie

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

[00:02:15] La la lie la lie

[00:02:17] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:02:26] And i'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:02:29] And wishing i was gone goin home

[00:02:34] Where the new york city winters aren't bleedin me

[00:02:39] Leadin me goin home

[00:02:53] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

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

[00:03:00] Of every glove that laid him down or cut him

[00:03:04] Til he cried out in his anger and his shame

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

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

[00:03:18] Lie la lie

[00:03:20] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:03:23] Lie la lie

[00:03:26] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:03:31] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:03:33] Lie la lie

[00:03:36] Lie la lie la la la lie

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

[00:03:43] Lie la lie

[00:03:46] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:03:51] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:03:54] Lie la lie

[00:03:56] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:02] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:07] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:12] Lie la lie

[00:04:13] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:16] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:21] Lie la lie

[00:04:23] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:27] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:32] Lie la lie

[00:04:33] Lie la lie la la la lie

[00:04:37] Lie la lie la la la lie
