The Boxer (拳击手) - Deana Carter[00:00:00]

I am just a poor boy[00:00:11]

Though my story is seldom told[00:00:14]

I have squandered my resistance[00:00:16]

For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises[00:00:20]

All lies and jest[00:00:28]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:30]

And disregards the rest[00:00:34]

When I left my home and my family[00:00:49]

I was no more than a boy[00:00:52]

In the company of strangers[00:00:55]

In the quiet of the railway station runnin' scared[00:00:58]

Layin' low seekin' out the poorer quarters[00:01:06]

Where the ragged people go[00:01:12]

Lookin' for the places only they would know[00:01:15]

Lie-la-lie[00:01:21]

Asking only workman's wages[00:01:42]

I come lookin' for a job[00:01:45]

But I get no offers just a come on[00:01:48]

From the whores on Seventh Avenue[00:01:54]

I do declare there were times[00:01:59]

When I was so lonesome[00:02:03]

I took some comfort there[00:02:05]

La la la la la la la[00:02:08]

Lie-la-lie[00:02:47]

And I'm layin' out my winter clothes[00:03:07]

And wishin' I was gone goin' home[00:03:10]

Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me[00:03:17]

Leadin' me home goin' home[00:03:25]

In the clearing stands[00:03:40]

A boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:03:42]

And he carries the reminders[00:03:47]

Of every glove that laid him down[00:03:50]

Or cut him 'til he cried out[00:03:54]

In his anger and his shame[00:03:57]

"I am leavin' I am leavin'"[00:04:00]

But the fighter still remains still remains[00:04:03]

Lie-la-lie[00:04:15]
