[00:00.00]Leader of the Band - Al Lewis/Dan Fogelberg
[00:20.65]An only child alone and wild
[00:23.64]A cabinet maker's son
[00:26.17]
[00:27.62]His hands were meant for different work
[00:30.48]And his heart was known to none
[00:34.18]
[00:34.74]He left his home and went his lone
[00:37.98]And solitary way
[00:40.77]
[00:41.35]And he gave to me
[00:42.97]A gift I know I never can repay
[00:48.37]
[00:54.89]A quiet man of music
[00:57.20]
[00:57.78]Denied a simpler fate
[01:00.46]
[01:01.84]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:04.63]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:08.91]He earned his love through discipline
[01:12.12]A thundering velvet hand
[01:14.91]
[01:15.47]And his gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:19.05]Took me years to understand
[01:22.45]
[01:25.33]The leader of the band is tired
[01:28.41]And his eyes are growing old
[01:31.23]
[01:31.86]And his blood runs through my instrument
[01:35.50]And his song is in my soul
[01:39.94]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:43.56]To imitate the man
[01:45.64]
[01:46.50]I'm just a living legacy
[01:50.06]To the leader of the band
[01:53.64]
[02:00.04]My brothers' lives were different
[02:02.75]For they heard another call
[02:05.68]
[02:07.27]One went to Chicago
[02:09.55]And the other to St Paul
[02:13.51]
[02:14.32]And I'm in Colorado
[02:17.19]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:20.23]
[02:21.28]Living out this life I've chose
[02:24.46]And come to know so well
[02:28.37]
[02:50.11]I thank you for the music
[02:52.80]And your stories of the road
[02:55.73]
[02:57.05]I thank you for the freedom
[02:59.50]When it came my time to go
[03:03.26]
[03:04.25]I thank you for your kindness
[03:07.19]And the times when you got tough
[03:11.12]And papa I don't think
[03:13.31]I said I love you near enough
[03:18.55]
[03:20.93]The leader of the band is tired
[03:24.03]And his eyes are growing old
[03:26.75]
[03:27.47]And his blood runs through my instrument
[03:31.03]And his song is in my soul
[03:35.47]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:39.16]To imitate the man
[03:42.11]I'm just a living legacy
[03:45.74]To the leader of the band
[03:49.34]I am the living legacy
[03:53.25]To the leader of the band
