Boxer -

World went out, The lights went out too, The world went out, The lights went

out too

Steal my home, steal my heart from under me

When the world went out, the lights went out too

I was a boxer then

I was knocking men out for fun

I was a boxer then

I was knocking men out for fun

Wrap me up to make my bread for the family

I was a boxer then

I was knocking men out for fun

Stop to rest, stop under them

I’m bending time, to satisfy

I’ll cross the border before next day falls

I kiss you by, the kitchen door

And with a heart due north, I will make my course

I’ll return a ring and a pint and a course

But could I open up my mouth enough to let marching bands declare my love

Or to see your ships twenty miles unfurled

To send messages of my return

In the nighttime call
