[00:00.00]Leader of the Band (Live) - 林一峰 (Chet Lam)
[00:20.68]An only child alone and wild
[00:23.58]A cabinet maker's son
[00:25.64]
[00:27.57]His hands were meant for different work
[00:30.34]And his heart was known to none
[00:34.71]He left his home and went his lone
[00:37.66]And solitary way
[00:40.06]
[00:41.55]And he gave to me
[00:42.92]A gift I know I never can repay
[00:47.36]
[00:54.48]A quiet man of music
[00:57.18]Denied a simpler fate
[00:59.89]
[01:01.34]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:04.17]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:07.41]
[01:08.37]He earned his love through discipline
[01:11.28]A thundering velvet hand
[01:13.94]
[01:15.33]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:18.20]Took me years to understand
[01:21.93]
[01:22.52]The leader of the band is tired
[01:25.36]And his eyes are growing old
[01:28.79]But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:32.34]And his song is in my soul
[01:36.38]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:39.17]
[01:40.01]To imitate the man
[01:42.98]I'm just a living legacy
[01:46.27]To the leader of the band
[01:50.24]
[01:56.11]My brothers' lives were different
[01:58.72]For they heard another call
[02:01.40]
[02:03.18]One went to chicago
[02:05.31]
[02:05.97]And the other going to New york
[02:08.72]
[02:10.25]And all the wite memfos
[02:12.74]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:15.54]
[02:17.18]Living out this life I've chose
[02:20.11]And come to know so well
[02:24.38]
[02:30.11]I thank you for the music
[02:32.74]And your stories of the road
[02:35.98]
[02:37.53]I thank you for the freedom
[02:39.88]
[02:40.51]When it came my time to go
[02:43.82]
[02:45.17]I thank you for the kindness
[02:48.21]
[02:49.38]And the times when you got tough
[02:52.40]
[02:53.74]And mong the day
[02:54.85]
[02:55.95]I don't think
[02:57.55]I said I love you near enough
[03:01.65]
[03:03.52]The leader of the band is tired
[03:06.57]And his eyes are growing old
[03:09.47]
[03:10.05]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:13.73]And his song is in my soul
[03:17.34]
[03:18.00]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:20.69]
[03:21.45]To imitate the man
[03:24.42]I'm just a living legacy
[03:27.74]To the leader of the band
[03:30.95]
[03:31.53]I am the living legacy
[03:35.32]To the leader of the band
