The Boxer / Simon & 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 jests 
Still a man hears what he wants to hear 
And disregards the rest 
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 
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 
And 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
