Simon And Garfunkel - The Boxer Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I am just a poor boy and my storys seldom told
  • Ive squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
  • All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
  • And disregards the rest, hmmmm
  • 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
  • Li la li...
  • Asking only workmans wages, I come lookin for a job, but I get no offers
  • Just a comeon from the whores on 7th avenue
  • I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
  • I took some comfort there
  • Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin even me
  • I am older than I once was, and younger than Ill be, thats not unusual
  • No it isnt strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same
  • After changes we are more or less the same
  • Li la li...
  • And Im laying out my winter clothes, wishing I was gone, goin home
  • Where the new york city winters arent bleedin me, leadin me to go 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
  • Yes he still remains
  • Li la li...
