[00:00.00]Leader Of The Band(Complete version originally performed by Dan Fogelberg) - Various Artists (欧美群星)
[00:21.19]An only child alone and wild
[00:24.16]A cabinet maker's son
[00:27.78]His hands were meant for different work
[00:30.96]And his heart was known to none
[00:35.28]He left his home and went his lone
[00:38.44]And solitary way
[00:41.62]And he gave to me
[00:43.42]A gift I know I never can repay
[00:55.23]A quiet man of music
[00:58.06]Denied a simpler fate
[01:01.91]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:05.13]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:09.11]He earned his love through discipline
[01:12.30]A thundering velvet hand
[01:15.83]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:19.40]Took me years to understand
[01:23.79]The leader of the band is tired
[01:26.19]And his eyes are growing old
[01:30.13]But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:33.46]And his song is in my soul
[01:37.89]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:40.95]To imitate the man
[01:44.24]I'm just a living legacy
[01:47.88]To the leader of the band
[01:57.93]My brothers' lives were different
[02:00.55]For they heard another call
[02:04.86]One went to Chicago
[02:07.87]And the other to St Paul
[02:12.18]And I'm in Colorado
[02:14.86]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:19.03]Living out this life I've chose
[02:22.10]And come to know so well
[02:47.88]I thank you for the music
[02:50.47]And your stories of the road
[02:54.50]I thank you for the freedom
[02:57.54]When it came my time to go
[03:02.03]I thank you for the kindness
[03:04.62]And the times when you got tough
[03:08.58]And papa I don't think
[03:10.84]I said "I love you" near enough
[03:16.26]The leader of the band is tired
[03:18.84]And his eyes are growing old
[03:22.58]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:26.01]And his song is in my soul
[03:30.30]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:33.37]To imitate the man
[03:36.55]I'm just a living legacy
[03:40.01]To the leader of the band
[03:43.61]I am the living legacy
[03:47.19]To the leader of the band
