The Boxer - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)[00:00:00]

Written by：Paul Simon[00:00:02]

I am just a poor boy[00:00:05]

Though my story's seldom told[00:00:07]

I have squandered my resistance[00:00:10]

For a pocketful of mumbles[00:00:12]

Such are ppromises[00:00:15]

All lies and jest[00:00:19]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:21]

And disregards the rest[00:00:23]

When I left my home[00:00:35]

And my family[00:00:36]

I was no more than a boy[00:00:38]

In the company of strangers[00:00:40]

In the quiet of the railway station[00:00:43]

Running scared[00:00:46]

Laying low[00:00:49]

Seeking out the poorer quarters[00:00:51]

Where the ragged people go[00:00:53]

Looking for the place only they would know[00:00:56]

Asking only workman's wages[00:01:17]

I come looking for a job[00:01:20]

But I get no offers[00:01:22]

Just a come-on from the whores[00:01:25]

On Seventh Avenue[00:01:28]

I do declare[00:01:31]

There were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:33]

I took some comfort there[00:01:36]

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes[00:02:11]

And wishing I was gone[00:02:14]

Going home[00:02:16]

Where the New York city winters[00:02:19]

Aren't bleeding me[00:02:22]

Leading me leading me[00:02:26]

Going home[00:02:30]

In the clearing stands a boxer[00:02:39]

And a fighter by his trade[00:02:41]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:44]

Of ev'ry glove that laid him down[00:02:47]

Or cut him till he cried out[00:02:50]

In his anger and his shame[00:02:52]

I am leaving I am leaving[00:02:55]

But the fighter still remains[00:02:57]
