The Boxer - Emmerson Nogueira[00:00:00]
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told[00:00:05]
I have squantered my resistance[00:00:10]
For a pocketful of mumbles[00:00:13]
Such are promises[00:00:16]
All lies and jest still the man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:19]
And disregards the rest[00:00:24]
When I left my home and family[00:00:34]
I was no more than a boy[00:00:37]
In the company of strangers[00:00:39]
In the quiet of the railway station running scared[00:00:42]
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the raggedpeople go[00:00:48]
Looking for the places only they would know[00:00:55]
La la li[00:01:00]
La la la la li la li[00:01:03]
La la li[00:01:05]
La la la la la la li la la la li[00:01:08]
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job[00:01:16]
But I get no offers[00:01:21]
Just a come on from the whores on seventh avenue[00:01:24]
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:30]
I took some comfort there[00:01:34]
Oooh la la la[00:01:37]
La la li[00:02:10]
La la la la li la li[00:02:13]
La la li[00:02:15]
La la la la la la li la la la li[00:02:18]
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone[00:02:26]
Going home where the new york city winters aren't bleedin' me[00:02:31]
Leadin' me to goin' home[00:02:40]
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:02:54]
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down[00:02:59]
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame[00:03:04]
I am leaving I am leaving[00:03:09]
But the fighter still remains[00:03:12]
La la li[00:03:20]
La la la la li la li[00:03:23]
