  In the clearing stands a boxer, 
  And a fighter by his trade
  And he carries the reminders
  Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
  And cut him till he cried out
  In his anger and his shame,
  "I am leaving, I am leaving."
  But the fighter still remains

The Boxer is one of the early songs I learned to play on the guitar. It's funny how you can sing/hear a song many times and not see the brilliance of the lyric until you read it. Thanks for that.
