Boxing |
Howard, the strangest things |
Have happened lately when I |
Take a good swing |
And all my dreams |
They pivot and slip |
I drop my fists |
And they’re back, laughing |
Howard, my intentions |
Become not to lose what I’ve won |
Ambition has given way |
To desperation and I |
I’ve lost the fight from my eyes |
Boxing’s been good to me, Howard |
Now I’m told |
«You're growing old.» |
The whole time we knew |
A couple of years I’d be through |
Has boxing been good to you? |
Howard, now I confess |
I’m scared and lonely and tired |
Everyone says I’m made of clay |
That I’ve had my day |
That I’m not cut out for this |
I just know what to say |
And I say |
Boxing’s been good to me, Howard |
Now I’m told |
«You're growing old.» |
The whole time we knew |
A couple of years I’d be through |
Has boxing been good to you? |
Well, sometimes I punch myself |
Hard as I can |
Yelling, «nobody cares!» |
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am |
Howard |
Boxing’s been good to me, Howard |
Now I’m told |
«You're growing old.» |
The whole time we knew |
A couple of years I’d be through |
Has boxing been good |
Has boxing been good |
Has boxing been good? |
