Leader of the Band / Washington Post March - Dan Fogelberg (丹·弗吉尔伯格)[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[00:00:31]
He left his home and[00:00:35]
Went his lone and solitary way[00:00:37]
He gave And to me a gift I know[00:00:41]
I never can repay[00:00:45]
A quiet man of music[00:00:55]
Denied a simpler fate[00:00:58]
He tried to be a soldier once[00:01:02]
But his music wouldn't wait[00:01:05]
He earned his love through discipline[00:01:09]
A thundering velvet hand[00:01:12]
His gentle means of sculpting souls[00:01:16]
Took me years to understand [00:01:19]
The leader of the band is tired[00:01:23]
And his eyes are growing old[00:01:27]
But his blood runs through my instrument[00:01:30]
And his song is in my soul --[00:01:33]
My life has been a poor attempt[00:01:38]
To imitate the man[00:01:41]
I'm just a living legacy[00:01:44]
To the leader of the band [00:01:47]
My brothers' lives were different[00:01:58]
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[00:02:12]
When I'm not in some hotel[00:02:14]
Living out this life I've chose[00:02:19]
And come to know so well [00:02:22]
I thank you for the music[00:02:48]
And your stories of the road[00:02:50]
I thank you for the freedom[00:02:54]
When it came my time to go[00:02:57]
I thank you for the kindness[00:03:02]
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[00:03:11]
The leader of the band is tired[00:03:16]
And his eyes are growing old[00:03:19]
But his blood runs through my instrument[00:03:22]
And his song is in my soul[00:03:26]
My life has been a poor attempt[00:03:30]
To imitate the man[00:03:33]
I'm just a living legacy[00:03:37]
To the leader of the band[00:03:40]
I am the living legacy[00:03:44]
To the leader of the band[00:03:47]
