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 (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (La la la la li...) Seeking 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 (li la la, la, la la) Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin' even me I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same After changes we are more or less the same ... (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (La la la la li...) And I'm laying out my winter clothes, wishing I was gone, goin' home Where the New York city winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me to go home In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down or cut him 'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains Yes, he still remains ... (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (La la la la li...) (Li la la la li la li) (Li la li... li la la la li la li) (La la la la li...) (Li la la la li la li) (Li la li... li la la la li la li) Related Lyrics Random lyrics: El Condor Pasa, For Emily, Homeward Bound, I Am A Rock, Mrs Robinson, My Little Town, Old Friends, Scarborough Fair, Song For The Asking, Sounds Of Silence, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin Groovy), The Boxer, The Dangling Conversation, The Only Living Boy In New York, Wake Up Little Susie, A Hazy Shade Of Winter, America, April Come She Will, At The Zoo, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Cecilia, Dangling Conversation, El Condor Pasa, For Emily, Homeward Bound, I Am A Rock, Mrs Robinson, My Little Town, Old Friends, Scarborough Fair, Song For The Asking, Sounds Of Silence, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin Groovy), The Boxer, The Dangling Conversation, The Only Living Boy In New York, Wake Up Little Susie, Aint Quite Right, Aint Quite Right, Goodbye, Hold Me, Touch Me (Think Of Me When Were Apart), Its Alright, Love In Chains, Move On, Take Me Away (Together As One), Tonight You Belong To Me, Wouldnt You Like To Know Me, Wedding Song, Wedding Song (there Is Love), Lover, Other Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel song Lyrics A Hazy Shade Of Winter Lyrics America Lyrics April Come She Will Lyrics At The Zoo Lyrics Bridge Over Troubled Waters Lyrics Cecilia Lyrics Dangling Conversation Lyrics El Condor Pasa Lyrics Fakin It Lyrics For Emily Lyrics Homeward Bound Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Paul Simon amp Art Garfunkel Lyrics Paul Simon Art Garfunkel Lyrics Paul Stanley Lyrics Paul Stookey Lyrics Dyk Paul Van Lyrics Paul Van Dyk Lyrics Paul Wall Lyrics Paul Wall Chamillionaire Lyrics Paul Wall Chamillionaire (Da Swishahouse) Lyrics Weller Paul Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
