[00:03.98]	《The Boxer》- Simon and Garfunkel
[00:05.91]	I am just a poor boy.
[00:07.95]	Though my story's seldom told,
[00:10.68]	I have squandered my resistance
[00:12.72]	For a pocketful of mumbles,
[00:15.83]	Such are promises
[00:19.41]	All lies and jest
[00:21.03]	Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:23.98]	And disregards the rest.
[00:35.63]	When I left my home
[00:37.09]	And my family,
[00:38.43]	I was no more than a boy
[00:40.63]	In the company of strangers
[00:43.38]	In the quiet of the railway station,
[00:46.05]	Running scared,
[00:48.01]	Laying low,
[00:51.30]	Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:53.89]	Where the ragged people go,
[00:56.54]	Looking for the places
[00:58.29]	Only they would know.
[01:01.35]	CHORUSLie-la-lie.....
[01:17.53]	Asking only workman's wages
[01:19.78]	I come looking for a job,
[01:22.14]	But I get no offers.
[01:25.35]	Just a come-on from the whores
[01:27.46]	On Seventh Avenue
[01:31.20]	I do declare,
[01:32.93]	There were times when I was so lonesome
[01:35.90]	I took some comfort there.
[03:18.13][02:10.41]	CHORUS Lie-la-lie.....
[02:24.43]	Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[02:28.81]	And wishing I was gone
[02:30.70]	Going home
[02:33.81]	Where the New York City winters
[02:35.56]	Aren't bleeding me,
[02:39.85]	Leading me,
[02:43.68]	Going home.
[02:50.02]	In the clearing stands a boxer,
[02:54.92]	And a fighter by his trade
[02:57.67]	And he carries the reminders
[03:00.21]	Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[03:03.27]	Or cut him till he cried out
[03:05.41]	In his anger and his shame,
[03:07.94]	"I am leaving, I am leaving."
[03:10.61]	But the fighter still remains
