The Boxer Lyrics - Concert In Central Park - Simon And Garfunkel

I am just a poor boy 

Though my story's seldom told 

I have 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 

 

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm 

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm 

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 

Running scared 

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

Where the ragged people go 

 

Looking for the places only they would know 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

 

Asking only workman's wages 

I come looking 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 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

 

Photos 

 

Now the years are rolling by me 

They are rockin' evenly 

I am older than I once was 

And younger than I'll be; that's not unusual 

Nor is it strange 

After changes upon changes 

We are more or less the same 

After changes we are more or less the same 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

 

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes 

And wishing I was gone 

Going home 

 

Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me 

Leading me 

Going 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 till he cried out 

In his anger and his shame 

"I am leaving, I am leaving" 

But the fighter still remains 

Mm-mm-mm 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie 

Lie-la-lie 

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
