Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
  • I have squandered my resistance
  • For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
  • All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest
  • hmm hmm hmmm
  • When I left my home and my family, was no more than a boy
  • In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station running scared
  • Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters, Where the ragged people go
  • Looking for the places only they would know
  • lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie.
  • Asking 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
  • la la la ...
  • lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie.
  • And I am laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, Going home
  • Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me, Leading me, going home
  • In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
  • And he carries the reminders
  • Of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out
  • In his anger and shame, I am leaving, I am leaving,
  • But the fighter still remains hmm hmm hmm
  • lie la lie, lie la la-lie lie la-lie, lie-la lie, lie la la-lie lie la lie la-la la lie lie.
