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]
