The Boxer / Simon & Garfunkle
I am just a poor boy,
though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest,
still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest (hmmmm....mmmm...)
When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers.....
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)
Seeking only 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 (li la la, la, la la)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... lila la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)
And I'm laying out my winter clothes,
wishing I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York city winters
aren't bleedin' me,
leadin' me to go home
In the clearing stands a boxer,
and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminder of every glove
that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving,
but the fighter still remains
Yes, he still remains.............
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)
(Li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
(La la la la li...)
(Li la la la li la li)
(Li la li... li la la la li la li)
..... Oh .....
