Leader of the Band - 林一峰 (Chet Lam)[00:00:00]
An only child alone and wild[00:00:20]
A cabinet maker's son[00:00:23]
His hands were meant for different work[00:00:27]
And his heart was known to none[00:00:30]
He left his home and went his lone[00:00:34]
And solitary way[00:00:37]
And he gave to me[00:00:41]
A gift I know I never can repay[00:00:42]
A quiet man of music[00:00:54]
Denied a simpler fate[00:00:57]
He tried to be a soldier once[00:01:01]
But his music wouldn't wait[00:01:04]
He earned his love through discipline[00:01:08]
A thundering velvet hand[00:01:11]
His gentle means of sculpting souls[00:01:15]
Took me years to understand[00:01:18]
The leader of the band is tired[00:01:22]
And his eyes are growing old[00:01:25]
But his blood runs through my instrument[00:01:28]
And his song is in my soul[00:01:32]
My life has been a poor attempt[00:01:36]
To imitate the man[00:01:40]
I'm just a living legacy[00:01:42]
To the leader of the band[00:01:46]
My brothers' lives were different[00:01:56]
For they heard another call[00:01:58]
One went to chicago[00:02:03]
And the other going to New york[00:02:05]
And all the wite memfos[00:02:10]
When I'm not in some hotel[00:02:12]
Living out this life I've chose[00:02:17]
And come to know so well[00:02:20]
I thank you for the music[00:02:30]
And your stories of the road[00:02:32]
I thank you for the freedom[00:02:37]
When it came my time to go[00:02:40]
I thank you for the kindness[00:02:45]
And the times when you got tough[00:02:49]
And mong the day[00:02:53]
I don't think[00:02:55]
I said I love you near enough[00:02:57]
The leader of the band is tired[00:03:03]
And his eyes are growing old[00:03:06]
But his blood runs through my instrument[00:03:10]
And his song is in my soul[00:03:13]
My life has been a poor attempt[00:03:18]
To imitate the man[00:03:21]
I'm just a living legacy[00:03:24]
To the leader of the band[00:03:27]
I am the living legacy[00:03:31]
To the leader of the band[00:03:35]
