[00:08.45]Though my story's seldom told, [00:11.18]I have squandered my resistance [00:13.22]For a pocketful of mumbles, [00:16.33]Such are promises [00:19.91]All lies and jest [00:21.53]Still, a man hears what he wants to hear [00:24.48]And disregards the rest. [00:36.13]When I left my home [00:37.59]And my family, [00:38.93]I was no more than a boy [00:41.13]In the company of strangers [00:43.88]In the quiet of the railway station, [00:46.55]Running scared, [00:48.51]Laying low, [00:51.80]Seeking out the poorer quarters [00:54.39]Where the ragged people go, [00:57.04]Looking for the places [00:58.79]Only they would know. [01:01.85]CHORUSLie-la-lie..... [01:18.03]Asking only workman's wages [01:20.28]I come looking for a job, [01:22.64]But I get no offers. [01:25.85]Just a come-on from the whores [01:27.96]On Seventh Avenue [01:31.70]I do declare, [01:33.43]There were times when I was so lonesome [01:36.40]I took some comfort there. [03:18.63][02:10.91]CHORUS Lie-la-lie..... [02:24.93]Then I'm laying out my winter clothes [02:29.31]And wishing I was gone [02:31.20]Going home [02:34.31]Where the New York City winters [02:36.06]Aren't bleeding me, [02:40.35]Leading me, [02:44.18]Going home. [02:50.52]In the clearing stands a boxer, [02:55.42]And a fighter by his trade [02:58.17]And he carries the reminders [03:00.71]Of ev'ry glove that laid him down [03:03.77]Or cut him till he cried out [03:05.91]In his anger and his shame, [03:08.44]"I am leaving, I am leaving." [03:11.11]But the fighter still remains [04:43.11]By eric 1/7/2002
