《Leader of the Band(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Leader of the Band - 林一峰 (Chet Lam)

[00:00:20] An only child alone and wild

[00:00:23] A cabinet maker's son

[00:00:27] His hands were meant for different work

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

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

[00:00:37] And solitary way

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

[00:00:42] A gift I know I never can repay

[00:00:54] A quiet man of music

[00:00:57] Denied a simpler fate

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

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

[00:01:08] He earned his love through discipline

[00:01:11] A thundering velvet hand

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

[00:01:18] Took me years to understand

[00:01:22] The leader of the band is tired

[00:01:25] And his eyes are growing old

[00:01:28] But his blood runs through my instrument

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

[00:01:36] My life has been a poor attempt

[00:01:40] To imitate the man

[00:01:42] I'm just a living legacy

[00:01:46] To the leader of the band

[00:01:56] My brothers' lives were different

[00:01:58] For they heard another call

[00:02:03] One went to chicago

[00:02:05] And the other going to New york

[00:02:10] And all the wite memfos

[00:02:12] When I'm not in some hotel

[00:02:17] Living out this life I've chose

[00:02:20] And come to know so well

[00:02:30] I thank you for the music

[00:02:32] And your stories of the road

[00:02:37] I thank you for the freedom

[00:02:40] When it came my time to go

[00:02:45] I thank you for the kindness

[00:02:49] And the times when you got tough

[00:02:53] And mong the day

[00:02:55] I don't think

[00:02:57] I said I love you near enough

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

[00:03:06] And his eyes are growing old

[00:03:10] But his blood runs through my instrument

[00:03:13] And his song is in my soul

[00:03:18] My life has been a poor attempt

[00:03:21] To imitate the man

[00:03:24] I'm just a living legacy

[00:03:27] To the leader of the band

[00:03:31] I am the living legacy

[00:03:35] To the leader of the band
