Simon Garfunkel - The Boxer
[00:05.73] I am just a poor boy
[00:07.49] Though my story's seldom told
[00:10.68] I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.61] For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:15.73] Such are promises
[00:19.45] All lies and jest
[00:20.77] Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:24.23] And disregards the rest
[00:35.66] When I left my home and my family
[00:38.57] I was no more than a boy
[00:41.49] In the company of strangers
[00:43.89] In the quiet of the railway station
[00:47.08] Running scared
[00:50.53] Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:54.24] Where the ragged people go
[00:56.90] Looking for the places only they would know
[01:02.22] Lie-la-lie
[01:04.87] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[01:07.53] Lie-la-lie
[01:09.92] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[01:18.16] Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job
[01:23.20] But I get no offers
[01:26.38] Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
[01:31.70] I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
[01:37.28] I took some comfort there, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[02:11.81] Lie-la-lie
[02:14.21] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[02:16.88] Lie-la-lie
[02:19.52] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[02:27.49] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[02:30.42] And wishing I was gone, going home
[02:35.21] Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
[02:41.58] Leading me, going home
[02:54.61] In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:57.53] And a fighter by his trade
[03:00.19] And he carries the reminders
[03:03.11] Of every glove that laid him down
[03:05.50] Or cut him till he cried out
[03:07.62] In his anger and his shame
[03:10.28] "I am leaving, I am leaving"
[03:12.94] But the fighter still remains
[03:20.64] Lie-la-lie
[03:23.03] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:25.69] Lie-la-lie
[03:28.35] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:33.39] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:36.04] Lie-la-lie
[03:38.70] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:43.76] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:46.40] Lie-la-lie
[03:48.80] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:54.11] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[03:56.51] Lie-la-lie
[03:59.15] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:04.20] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:06.86] Lie-la-lie
[04:09.25] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:14.29] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:16.96] Lie-la-lie
[04:19.60] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:24.65] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:27.30] Lie-la-lie
[04:29.69] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:34.75] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:37.41] Lie-la-lie
[04:40.07] Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
[04:49.08] I love you
