The Boxer (Live) - Joan Baez/Paul Simon[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：Paul Simon/ANNIE GAWENDA[00:00:01]

Composed by：Paul Simon/ANNIE GAWENDA[00:00:02]

A poor boy[00:01:37]

Story's seldom told[00:01:40]

Squandered my resistance[00:01:42]

For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises[00:01:45]

All lies and jests[00:01:51]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:01:53]

And disregards the rest[00:01:56]

When I left my home and my family[00:02:09]

I was no more than a boy[00:02:12]

In the company of strangers[00:02:15]

In the quiet of the railway station running scared[00:02:18]

Laying low[00:02:25]

Seeking out the poorer quarters[00:02:26]

Where the ragged people go[00:02:29]

Looking for the places only they would know[00:02:32]

Lie la lie[00:02:38]

Lie la lie lie lie lie lie[00:02:41]

Lie la lie[00:02:44]

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

Lie la lie[00:02:50]

Asking only workman's wages[00:02:56]

I come looking for a job[00:02:59]

But I get no offers[00:03:01]

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue[00:03:05]

I do declare[00:03:11]

There were times when I was so lonesome[00:03:13]

I took some comfort there[00:03:16]

Lie la lie[00:03:19]

Now the years are rolling by me[00:03:29]

They are rockin' evenly[00:03:32]

I am older than I once was[00:03:35]

And younger than I'll be that's not unusual[00:03:38]

Nor is it strange[00:03:45]

After changes upon changes[00:03:46]

We are more or less the same[00:03:50]

After changes we are more or less the same[00:03:52]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:03:58]

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

La la lie la lie[00:04:10]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:04:13]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:04:16]

La la lie[00:04:21]

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes[00:04:28]

And wishing I was gone[00:04:31]

Going home[00:04:34]

Where the New York City winters[00:04:37]

Aren't bleeding me[00:04:40]

Leading me going home[00:04:44]

In the clearing stands a boxer[00:04:58]

And a fighter by his trade[00:05:01]

And he carries the reminders[00:05:04]

Of every glove that laid him down[00:05:07]

Or cut him till he cried out[00:05:10]

In his anger and his shame[00:05:13]

I am leaving I am leaving[00:05:16]

But the fighter still remains[00:05:19]

Still remains[00:05:22]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:27]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:33]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:39]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:45]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:51]

Lie la lie lie la lie la lie la lie[00:05:57]

Lie la lie[00:06:03]
