เนื้อเพลง The Boxer - Simon-Garfunkel

..I am just a poor boy
Though my story's
seldom told
I have squandered
my resistence
For the pocketful
of mumbles
such are promises
All lies and just
still a man Hears..
what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest,
mm.......
..When I left my home
and my family I was no
more than a boy
in the company of strangers
in the quiet Of a railway
station running scared
Laying love,seeking out
the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
only they would know
...Lie-la-lie,
lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie,
lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
la-la-la-la-lie-......
...Asking only workman's
wages I come looking for a jab
But I get on offers
Just a come-on from the whores
on Seventh Avenue
I do declare,there were times
When I was solonessome I took
some comfort there
Ooo-la-la, la la la la....
...SOLO........
..PIBOON..Pakaow.phan.....
..Lie-la-lie,
lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
lie-la-lie
lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
la-la-la-la-lie......
..Then I'm laying out
my winter clothes And
whishing I was gone,
going home
Where the New York City
winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me, going home...
..In the clearing stands
the boxer And a fighter
by his trade
And he carries the reminders
of ev'ry glove
That laid him down
or cut him till he cried Out
in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter
still remains mm..........
