I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome, I took some comfort there. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. (Instrumental break) Li da li ... And I’m laying out my winter clothes, and wishing I was gone, goin’ home Where the new york city winters aren’t bleedin’ me, leadin’ me goin' home. In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade, And he carries the reminders 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, still remains. Lie-da-lie ... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
