Leader Of The Band
An only child
- An only child
- Alone and wild
- A cabinet maker's son
- His hands were meant
- For different work
- And his heart was known to none
- He left his home
- And went his lone
- And solitary way
- And he gave to me
- A gift I know I never can repay
- A quiet man of music
- Denied a simpler fate
- He tried to be a soldier once
- But his music wouldn't wait
- He earned his love
- Through discipline
- A thundering velvet hand
- His gentle means of sculpting souls
- Took me years to understand
- The leader of the band is tired
- And his eyes are growing old
- But his blood runs through my instrument
- And his song is in my soul
- My life has been a poor attempt
- To imitate the man
- I'm just a living legacy
- To the leader of the band
- My brothers' lives were different
- For they heard another call
- One went to Chicago
- And the other to St Paul
- And I'm in Colorado
- When I'm not in some hotel
- Living out this life I've chose
- And come to know so well
- I thank you for the music
- And your stories of the road
- I thank you for the freedom
- When it came my time to go
- I thank you for the kindness
- And the times when you got tough
- And papa I don't think I
- Said 'I love you' near enough
- The leader of the band is tired
- And his eyes are growing old
- But his blood runs through my instrument
- And his song is in my soul
- My life has been a poor attempt
- To imitate the man
- I'm just a living legacy
- To the leader of the band
- I'm just a living legacy
- To the leader of the band
Let's hear it!
