Lirik Jerry Douglas The Boxer ft Mumford And Sons
- though my story seldom told
- i squandered my resistance
- for a pocket full 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 stations running scared
- laying low seeking out the poor 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 of seventh avenue
- i do declare there were times
- that i was so lonesome
- i took some comfort there
- then i'm laying down my winter clothes
- and wishing i was gone going home
- where the new york city winters
- are bleeding me, bleeding me going 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
- and cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
- i am leaving i am leaving but the fighter sill remains
