[00:03.28]LEADER OF THE BAND
[00:04.17]編輯:十四
[00:21.88]An only child, alone and wild
[00:24.70]A cabinet maker's son
[00:28.73]His hands were meant for different work
[00:31.60]And his heart was known to none
[00:35.91]He left his home
[00:37.43]And went his lone and solitary way
[00:42.35]And he gave to me a gift
[00:44.29]I know I never can repay
[00:55.98]A quiet man of music
[00:58.41]Denied a simpler fate
[01:02.76]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:05.53]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:09.98]He earned his love through discipline
[01:12.67]A thundering, velvet hand
[01:16.43]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:19.85]Took me years to understand
[03:16.77][01:24.27]The leader of the band is tired
[03:19.60][01:26.91]And his eyes are growing old
[03:22.98][01:30.60]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:26.45][01:34.10]And his song is in my soul
[03:30.81][01:38.53]My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
[03:37.25][01:43.99]I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[01:58.91]My brothers' lives were different
[02:01.00]For they heard another call
[02:05.10]One went to Chicago
[02:08.15]And the other to St. Paul
[02:12.62]And I'm in Colorado
[02:15.18]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:19.39]Living out this life I've chose
[02:22.40]And come to know so well
[02:48.52]I thank you for the music
[02:51.05]And your stories of the road
[02:55.43]I thank you for the freedom
[02:58.02]When it came my time to go
[03:02.51]I thank you for the kindness
[03:05.15]The times when you got tough
[03:09.03]And papa, I don't think I said,
[03:12.29]"I love you" near enough
[03:44.42]I'm a living legacy to the leader of the band
