Ainars Mielavs – The Boxer Lyrics

Artist: Ainars Mielavs
Song: The Boxer

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
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

Lie-la-lie…
Asking only workman’s wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers

Just a come-on from the wh#res on Seventh Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie-la-lie…
Lie-la-lie…
Then 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 ev’ry 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 still remains, mhm, hmm
Lie-la-lie…
