《The Boxer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Decades - The Boxer

[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

[00:00:19] 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

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

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

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

[00:00:45] Running scared

[00:00:49] Laying low

[00:00:50] Seeking out the poorer quarters

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

[00:00:55] Looking for the places

[00:00:57] Only they would know

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

[00:01:08] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

[00:01:16] Asking only workman's wages

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

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

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

[00:01:26] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:29] I do declare

[00:01:31] There were times when I was so lonesome

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

[00:01:36] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie

[00:02:11] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie

[00:02:19] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

[00:02:26] Then I'm laying out 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] Leading 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 every glove that laid him down

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

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

[00:03:09] I am leaving I am leaving

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

[00:03:19] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie

[00:03:26] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

[00:03:32] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie

[00:03:37] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

[00:03:42] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie

[00:03:48] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

[00:03:52] Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie

[00:03:58] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

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

[00:04:08] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie

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

[00:04:19] Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie
