Leader Of The Band/Washington - Dan Fogelberg[00:00:00]

An only child alone and wild[00:00:21]

A cabinet maker's son[00:00:24]

His hands were meant for different work[00:00:28]

And his heart was known to none --[00:00:30]

He left his home and went his lone and solitary way[00:00:34]

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

I never can repay[00:00:44]

A quiet man of music[00:00:55]

Denied a simpler fate[00:00:57]

He tried to be a soldier once[00:01:02]

But his music wouldn't wait[00:01:04]

He earned his love through discipline[00:01:09]

A thundering velvet hand[00:01:11]

His gentle means of sculpting souls[00:01:15]

Took me years to understand [00:01:19]

The leader of the band is tired[00:01:23]

And his eyes are growing old[00:01:26]

But his blood runs through my instrument[00:01:29]

And his song is in my soul --[00:01:32]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:01:37]

To imitate the man[00:01:40]

I'm just a living legacy[00:01:44]

To the leader of the band [00:01:47]

My brothers' lives were different[00:01:57]

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

One went to Chicago[00:02:04]

And the other to St Paul[00:02:07]

And I'm in Colorado[00:02:11]

When I'm not in some hotel[00:02:14]

Living out this life I've chose[00:02:18]

And come to know so well [00:02:21]

I thank you for the music[00:02:47]

And your stories of the road[00:02:50]

I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go[00:02:54]

I thank you for the kindness[00:03:01]

And the times when you got tough[00:03:04]

And papa I don't think I[00:03:08]

Said 'I love you' near enough[00:03:10]

The leader of the band is tired[00:03:15]

And his eyes are growing old[00:03:18]

But his blood runs through my instrument[00:03:22]

And his song is in my soul[00:03:25]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:03:29]

To imitate the man[00:03:33]

I'm just a living legacy[00:03:36]

To the leader of the band[00:03:39]

I am the living legacy[00:03:43]

To the leader of the band[00:03:47]
