After changes, we are more or less the same. -REFRENG- VERS 5: Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, Going home, where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me. Leadin' me, to goin' home. VERS 6: 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. -REFRENG repeteres flere ganger-
