letra de the boxer - jenny mitchell

[verse 1: jenny mitch-ll]
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

[verse 2: jenny mitch-ll]
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
[hook: jenny mitch-ll, with maegan and nicola mitch-ll]
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

[verse 3: jenny mitch-ll]
asking only workman’s wages, i come lookin’ for a job
but i get no offers
just a come-on from the wh0res on 7th avenue
i do declare, there were times when i was so lonesome
i took some comfort there

[verse 5: jenny mitch-ll with maegan and nicola mitch-ll]
now i’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing i was gone
goin’ home
where the new york city winters aren’t bleedin’ me
leadin’ me
goin’ home

[hook: jenny mitch-ll with maegan and nicola mitch-ll]
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

[verse 6: jenny mitch-ll, with maegan and nicola mitch-ll]
in the clearing stands a boxer, a fighter by his trade
and he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down and cut him
’til he cried out in his anger and his shame
“i am leaving, i am leaving”, but the fighter still remains
[hook: jenny mitch-ll, with maegan and nicola mitch-ll]
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
