Emmylou Harris - The Boxer - Sözleri

(Paul Simon)



I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told 

I have squandered my existence 

On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises 

All lies in jest, till a man hears what he wants to hear 

And disregards the rest 



Well I left my home and family I was no more than a boy 

In the company of strangers 

In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared 

Layin' low seeking out the poor quarters 

Where the ragged people go, looking for the places 

Only they would know 



Li Li Li [etc.] 



Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job 

But I get no offers 

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue 

I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome 

I took some comfort there 



In a-laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was home 

Going home 

Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleding me 

Bleeding me 

Going home 



Da Da Da [etc.] 



In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade 

And he carries the reminders 

Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him 

Till he cried out in his anger and his shame 

I am leaving, I am leaving 

But the fighter still remains 



Li Li Li [etc.]
