The Boxer歌词

[00:07.07]I am just a poor boy
[00:08.76]though my story's seldom told.
[00:11.31]I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.96]for a pocketful of mumbles'
[00:16.27]such are promises.
[00:19.85]All lies and jest.
[00:21.66]Still' a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:25.74]and disregards the rest.
[00:27.12]Mmm.......
[00:28.32]Mmm.......
[00:36.24]When I left my home
[00:37.68]and my family.
[00:38.87]I was no more than a boy.
[00:41.76]In the company of strangers'
[00:44.01]in the quiet of the railway station
[00:47.08]running scared.
[00:50.52]Laying low'
[00:51.64]seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:54.78]where the ragged people go.
[00:56.91]Looking for the places
[00:58.86]only they would know.
[01:02.31]Lie-la-lie.....
[01:04.62]Lie-la-lie.....
[01:17.92]Asking only workman's wages'
[01:20.49]I come looking for a job
[01:22.86]but I get no offers.
[01:25.79]Just a come-on from the whores
[01:27.92]on Seventh Avenue.
[01:31.49]I do declare'
[01:33.30]there were times
[01:34.50]when I was so lonesome
[01:36.74]I took some comfort there.
[01:38.57]Lie-la-lie.....
[01:46.25]
[02:11.13]Lie-la-lie.....
[02:13.72]Lie-la-lie.....
[02:16.79]
[02:26.97]Then I'm laying out
[02:28.90]my winter clothes
[02:29.90]and wishing I was gone.
[02:32.04]Going home'
[02:34.47]where the New York City winters
[02:36.84]aren't bleeding me.
[02:40.52]Leading me
[02:44.64]going home.
[02:49.71]
[02:53.72]In the clearing stands a boxer'
[02:55.97]and a fighter by his trade.
[02:58.59]And he carries the reminders
[03:01.24]of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:03.94]or cut him till he cried out.
[03:06.32]In his anger and his shame'
[03:08.51]"I am leaving' I am leaving."
[03:11.13]But the fighter still remains.
[03:13.92]Mmm............
[03:18.94]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:26.40]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:30.89]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:36.23]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:41.28]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:46.40]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:51.47]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
[03:56.60]Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie
