[00:00.58]Leader Of The Band/Washington - Dan Fogelberg
[00:21.15]An only child alone and wild
[00:23.45]
[00:24.20]A cabinet maker's son
[00:26.38]
[00:28.13]His hands were meant for different work
[00:30.82]And his heart was known to none --
[00:33.82]
[00:34.94]He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
[00:41.71]he gave And to me a gift I know
[00:44.94]I never can repay
[00:48.81]
[00:55.30]A quiet man of music
[00:57.67]Denied a simpler fate
[01:00.44]
[01:02.25]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:04.83]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:08.26]
[01:09.02]He earned his love through discipline
[01:11.97]A thundering, velvet hand
[01:14.72]
[01:15.71]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:19.15]Took me years to understand.
[01:22.21]
[01:23.46]The leader of the band is tired
[01:26.63]And his eyes are growing old
[01:29.19]
[01:29.88]But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:32.87]And his song is in my soul --
[01:37.68]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:40.88]To imitate the man
[01:43.38]
[01:44.12]I'm just a living legacy
[01:47.75]To the leader of the band.
[01:50.80]
[01:57.92]My brothers' lives were different
[02:00.35]For they heard another call
[02:03.28]
[02:04.53]One went to Chicago
[02:07.53]And the other to St. Paul
[02:10.96]
[02:11.83]And I'm in Colorado
[02:14.51]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:17.20]
[02:18.70]Living out this life I've chose
[02:21.71]And come to know so well.
[02:25.33]
[02:47.79]I thank you for the music
[02:50.29]And your stories of the road
[02:53.28]
[02:54.66]I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
[03:00.52]
[03:01.58]I thank you for the kindness
[03:04.39]And the times when you got tough
[03:08.10]And, papa, I don't think I
[03:10.76]Said 'I love you' near enough
[03:15.06]
[03:15.75]The leader of the band is tired
[03:18.99]And his eyes are growing old
[03:21.55]
[03:22.18]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:25.54]And his song is in my soul
[03:29.91]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:33.35]To imitate the man
[03:36.34]I'm just a living legacy
[03:39.90]To the leader of the band
[03:42.89]
[03:43.52]I am the living legacy
[03:47.32]To the leader of the band.
