Title :The Boxer |
| [00:05.37] |
|
| [00:06.21] |
I am just a poor boy |
| [00:08.32] |
though my story's seldom told. |
| [00:11.09] |
I have squandered my resistance |
| [00:14.01] |
for a pocketful of mumbles, |
| [00:16.13] |
such are promises. |
| [00:20.18] |
All lies and jest. |
| [00:21.60] |
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear |
| [00:24.59] |
and disregards the rest. |
| [00:26.87] |
Mmm....... |
| [00:30.20] |
Mmm....... |
| [00:31.84] |
<Music> |
| [00:36.32] |
When I left my home |
| [00:37.61] |
and my family. |
| [00:38.98] |
I was no more than a boy. |
| [00:41.33] |
In the company of strangers, |
| [00:44.22] |
in the quiet of the railway station |
| [00:47.07] |
running scared. |
| [00:48.55] |
<Music> |
| [00:50.58] |
Laying low, |
| [00:51.80] |
seeking out the poorer quarters |
| [00:54.33] |
where the ragged people go. |
| [00:57.08] |
Looking for the places |
| [00:58.98] |
only they would know. |
| [01:10.06][01:02.25] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [01:14.60] |
<Music> |
| [01:18.18] |
Asking only workman's wages, |
| [01:20.59] |
I come looking for a job |
| [01:22.80] |
but I get no offers. |
| [01:26.01] |
Just a come-on from the whores |
| [01:28.18] |
on Seventh Avenue. |
| [01:32.16] |
I do declare, |
| [01:33.45] |
there were times |
| [01:34.66] |
when I was so lonesome |
| [01:36.62] |
I took some comfort there. |
| [01:38.85] |
Lie-la-lie..... |

Lie-la-lie..... |
| [02:19.15] |
Lie-la-lie..... |
| [02:23.47] |
<Music> |
| [02:26.98] |
Then I'm laying out |
| [02:28.18] |
my winter clothes |
| [02:29.62] |
and wishing I was gone. |
| [02:31.70] |
Going home, |
| [02:34.70] |
where the New York City winters |
| [02:36.88] |
aren't bleeding me. |
| [02:40.57] |
Leading me |
| [02:44.50] |
going home. |
| [02:47.67] |
<Music> |
| [02:53.69] |
In the clearing stands a boxer, |
| [02:56.02] |
and a fighter by his trade. |
| [02:58.79] |
And he carries the reminders |
| [03:01.89] |
of ev'ry glove that laid him down |
| [03:04.08] |
or cut him till he cried out. |
| [03:06.83] |
In his anger and his shame, |
| [03:08.88] |
"I am leaving, I am leaving." |
| [03:11.76] |
But the fighter still remains. |
| [03:14.12] |
Mmm............ |
| [03:16.07] |
<Music> |
| [04:02.61][03:19.10] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:12.52][03:32.33] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:22.82][03:42.57] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:32.75][03:52.52] |
Lie-la-lie..............Lie-la-lie |
| [04:41.26][Music1] |
