[00:00.06]The Decades - The Boxer
[00:06.25]I am just a poor boy
[00:08.05]Though my story's seldom told
[00:10.71]I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.27]For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:15.53]Such are promises
[00:19.31]All lies and jest
[00:20.84]Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:23.70]And disregards the rest
[00:35.28]When I left my home
[00:36.45]And my family
[00:37.92]I was no more than a boy
[00:40.10]In the company of strangers
[00:42.81]In the quiet of the railway station
[00:45.79]Running scared
[00:49.05]Laying low
[00:50.31]Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:53.01]Where the ragged people go
[00:55.37]Looking for the places
[00:57.48]Only they would know
[01:00.59]Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie la lie
[01:08.13]Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie
[01:16.12]Asking only workman's wages
[01:18.80]I can looking for a job
[01:20.83]But I get no offers
[01:23.71]Just a come on from the whores
[01:26.04]On Seventh Avenue
[01:29.84]I do declare
[01:31.48]There were times when I was so lonesome
[01:34.18]I took some comfort there
[01:36.50]Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie

[02:26.83]Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[02:29.51]And wishing I was gone
[02:31.52]Going home
[02:34.66]Where the New York City winters
[02:36.98]Aren't bleeding me
[02:40.82]Leading me
[02:44.68]Going home
[02:53.89]In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:56.25]And a fighter by his trade
[02:58.65]And he carries the reminders
[03:01.85]Of every glove that laid him down
[03:04.16]Or cut him till he cried out
[03:06.49]In his anger and his shame
[03:09.07]I am leaving I am leaving
[03:11.39]But the fighter still remains
