《Leader of the Band》歌词

[00:00:00] Leader of the Band - Amanda Faith

[00:00:17] An only child

[00:00:18] Alone and wild

[00:00:20] A cabinet maker's son

[00:00:25] His hands were meant for different work

[00:00:29] And his heart was known to none

[00:00:34] He left his home

[00:00:35] And went his lone and solitary way

[00:00:41] And he gave to me a gift

[00:00:44] I know I never can repay

[00:00:57] A quiet man of music

[00:01:00] Denied a simpler fate

[00:01:05] He tried to be a soldier once

[00:01:08] But his music wouldn't wait

[00:01:13] He earned his love through discipline

[00:01:17] A thundering velvet hand

[00:01:21] His gentle means

[00:01:23] Of sculpting souls

[00:01:25] Took me years to understand

[00:01:30] The leader of the band is tired

[00:01:34] And his eyes are growing old

[00:01:38] But his blood runs

[00:01:39] Through my instrument

[00:01:42] And his song is in my soul

[00:01:47] My life has been a poor attempt

[00:01:51] To imitate the man

[00:01:54] I'm just a living legacy

[00:01:58] To the leader of the band

[00:02:16] My brothers' lives were different

[00:02:19] For they heard another call

[00:02:24] One went to Chicago

[00:02:27] And the other to St Paul

[00:02:33] And I'm in Colorado

[00:02:36] When I'm not in some hotel

[00:02:41] Living out this life I've chose

[00:02:44] And come to know so well

[00:02:56] I thank you for the music

[00:02:59] And your stories of the road

[00:03:04] I thank you for the freedom

[00:03:07] When it came my time to go

[00:03:12] I thank you for the kindness

[00:03:15] And the times when you got tough

[00:03:20] And papa

[00:03:21] I don't think I said

[00:03:24] I love you near enough

[00:03:29] The leader of the band is tired

[00:03:32] And his eyes are growing old

[00:03:37] But his blood runs

[00:03:38] Through my instrument

[00:03:40] And his song is in my soul

[00:03:46] My life has been a poor attempt

[00:03:50] To imitate the man

[00:03:53] I'm just a living legacy

[00:03:57] To the leader of the band

[00:04:02] I am the living legacy

[00:04:05] To the leader of the band

[00:04:10] I am the living legacy

[00:04:14] To the leader of

[00:04:19] My life has been a poor attempt

[00:04:23] To imitate the man

[00:04:27] I'm just a living legacy

[00:04:30] To the leader of the band
