Testi

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of marbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still the 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 will know
Asking only a workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores of 7th Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
And now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I'm older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
That's not unusual
No, it isn't strange
After changes, the world changes
We are more or less the same
Now 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
To going home
And in the clearing stands a boxer
As 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
