The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel (西蒙和加芬克尔)
Lyrics by：Paul Simon
Composed by：Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I've squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest hmm hmm
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Runnin' scared
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie
La la la la lie lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie lie la la la la lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come lookin'
For a job but I get no offers
Just a come on
From the whores on seventh avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Oh la la la la
And the years are rolling by me
The are rocking evenly
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
That's not unusual
It isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same
Lie la lie
La la la la lie lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie lie la la la la lie
And I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone goin' home
Where the New York City
Winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me goin' home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger
And his shame
I am leaving I am leaving
But the fighter still remains hmm hmm
Lie la lie
La la la la lie lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie lie la la la la lie
La la la la lie lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie lie la la la la lie
La la la la lie lie lie lie lie lie
La la la la lie lie la la la la lie
