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]
