The Boxer (Live) - Paul Simon[00:00:01]

I am just a poor boy[00:00:24]

Though my story seldom told[00:00:28]

I squandered my resistance[00:00:30]

For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises[00:00:33]

All lies and jests[00:00:39]

Still a man hears[00:00:40]

What he wants to hear[00:00:42]

And disregards the rest[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 stations running scared[00:01:03]

Laying low seeking out the poor quarters[00:01:09]

Where the ragged people go[00:01:13]

Looking for the places[00:01:15]

Only they would know[00:01:17]

Asking only workman's wages[00:01:47]

I come looking for a job[00:01:50]

But I get no offers[00:01:52]

Just a come on[00:01:55]

From the whores on seventh avenue[00:01:56]

I do declare there were times[00:02:00]

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

I took some comfort there[00:02:04]

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[00:02:21]

And younger than I'll be that's not unusual[00:02:24]

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]

Then I'm laying down my winter clothes[00:03:19]

And wishing I was home going home[00:03:21]

Where the New York City winters[00:03:26]

Aren't bleeding me leading me going home[00:03:29]

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade[00:03:45]

And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down[00:03:50]

And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame[00:03:55]

I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains[00:04:00]
