Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Paul Simon
[00:01.00] 作词 : Paul Simon
[00:06.23] I am just a poor boy
[00:07.97] Though my story's seldom told
[00:10.93] I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.90] For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:16.39] Such are promises
[00:18.43] All lies and jest
[00:21.34] Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:24.18] And disregards the rest
[00:26.24] When I left my home and my family
[00:38.52] I was no more than a boy
[00:40.96] In the company of strangers
[00:43.99] In the quiet of the railway station
[00:46.72] Running scared
[00:50.16] Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:54.11] Where the ragged people go
[00:57.11] Looking for the places only they would know
[01:01.79] Lie-la-lie...
[01:17.49] Asking only workman's wages
[01:19.73] I come looking for a job
[01:22.28] But I get no offers
[01:25.44] Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
[01:31.18] I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
[01:34.99] I took some comfort there
[01:37.56] Lie-la-lie...
[02:27.36] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[02:29.84] And wishing I was gone
[02:32.01] Going home
[02:35.09] Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
[02:38.88] Leading me
[02:45.32] Going home
[02:54.77] In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:56.74] And a fighter by his trade
[02:59.12] And he carries the remainders
[03:01.71] Of every glove that laid him down
[03:05.34] And cut him till he cried out
[03:07.38] In his anger and his shame
[03:09.30] “I am leaving, I am leaving”
[03:12.16] But the fighter still remains
[03:19.77] Lie-la-lie...
[03:40.11]
