[ve:3.11.13] |
| [00:20.42] |
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son. |
| [00:27.62] |
His hands were meant for different work |
| [00:30.21] |
And his heart was known to none |
| [00:34.33] |
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way |
| [00:41.17] |
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay |
| [00:54.65] |
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate |
| [01:00.89] |
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait |
| [01:08.50] |
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand |
| [01:14.64] |
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand |
| [01:23.19] |
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old |
| [01:36.41] |
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man |
| [01:43.76] |
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band |
| [01:43.82] |
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band |
| [01:56.95] |
My brother's lives were different for they heard another call |
| [02:02.73] |
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul |
| [02:11.15] |
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel |
| [02:18.09] |
Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well |
| [02:45.92] |
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road |
| [02:54.04] |
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go |
| [03:00.93] |
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough |
| [03:07.59] |
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough |
| [03:15.29] |
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old |
| [03:21.27] |
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul |
| [03:28.61] |
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man |
| [03:35.76] |
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band |
| [03:43.07] |
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band |
| [03:53.45] |
(The End) |
