The Boxer - Paul Simon[00:00:01]
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told[00:00:23]
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles[00:00:30]
Such are promises[00:00:35]
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:39]
And disregards the rest hmmmm mmmm[00:00:43]
When I left my home and my family[00:00:55]
I was no more than a boy[00:00:57]
In the company of strangers[00:01:00]
In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared[00:01:03]
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters[00:01:09]
Where the ragged people go[00:01:13]
Looking for the places only they would know[00:01:15]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:01:20]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:01:26]
La la la la li[00:01:31]
Seeking only workman's wages[00:01:47]
I come looking for a job[00:01:49]
But I get no offers[00:01:52]
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue[00:01:55]
I do declare[00:02:00]
There were times when I was so lonesome[00:02:02]
I took some comfort there li la la la la la[00:02:05]
Now the years are rolling by me[00:02:16]
They are rockin' even me[00:02:19]
I am older than I once was and younger than I'll be[00:02:22]
That's not unusual[00:02:26]
No it isn't strange after changes upon changes[00:02:30]
We are more or less the same[00:02:34]
After changes we are more or less the same[00:02:37]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:02:42]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:02:48]
La la la la li[00:02:52]
And I'm laying out my winter clothes[00:03:19]
Wishing I was gone goin' home[00:03:21]
Where the New York city winters aren't bleedin' me[00:03:26]
Leadin' me to go home[00:03:33]
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:03:45]
And he carries the reminder of every glove[00:03:50]
That laid him down or cut him[00:03:54]
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame[00:03:57]
I am leaving I am leaving[00:04:00]
But the fighter still remains[00:04:02]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:04:11]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:04:16]
La la la la li[00:04:21]
Li la la la li la li[00:04:26]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:04:31]
La la la la li[00:04:36]
Li la la la li la li[00:04:38]
Li la li li la la la li la li[00:04:41]
