Leader of the Band

[ti:Leader of The Band] [ar:周华健] [al:Songs of Birds] [by:cc0812] [offset:500] [0:0]欢迎访问 我爱音乐 [00:02.29]原唱/Dan Fogelberg [00:06.63]专辑/周华健《》 [00:09.50]编辑/酷狗 [00:11.53] [00:25.27]An only child alone and will, [00:28.08]a cabinet maker's son. [00:32.27]His hands were meant for different work [00:35.00]and his heart was known to none. [00:39.50]He left his home and went his lone [00:42.73]and solitary way. [00:46.83]He gave me a gift tied on [00:49.76]I never can repay. [01:00.30]A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate. [01:07.37]He tried to be a soldier once [01:10.44]but his music couldn't wait. [01:15.05]He earned his love through discipline [01:18.19]a thundering velvet hand. [01:21.64]His gentle means of sculpting souls [01:25.05]took me years to understand. [01:29.82]The leader of the band is tired [01:32.58]and his eyes are growing old. [01:36.13]But his blood runs through my instrument [01:39.74]and his song is in my soul. [01:44.19]My life has been a poor attempt [01:47.45]to imitate the man. [01:51.05]I'm just a living legacy [01:54.57]to the leader of the band. [01:59.20] [02:04.81]My brothers' lives were different [02:07.51]for they heard another call. [02:11.68]One went to Chicago and the other to St.Paul. [02:19.12]And I'm in Colorado [02:22.10]when I'm not in some hotel. [02:26.68]Living out this life I've chose [02:30.08]and come to know so well. [02:35.96] [03:00.26]I thank you for the music [03:03.15]and your stories of them all. [03:07.65]I thank you for the freedom [03:10.16]when it came my time to go. [03:14.73]I thank you for the kindness [03:17.76]and the times when you got tough. [03:22.23]And papa, I don't think I said [03:25.81]I love you near enough. [03:30.16]The leader of the band is tired [03:32.83]and his eyes are growing old. [03:36.63]But his blood runs through my instrument [03:39.85]and his song is in my soul. [03:44.35]My life has been a poor attempt [03:47.32]to imitate the man. [03:51.30]I'm just a living legacy [03:54.65]to the leader of the band. [03:58.99]I'm just a living legacy [04:01.78]to the leader of the band. [04:08.67]
