Видео: Dan Fogelberg - Leader of The Band

An only child

Alone and wild

A cabinet makers 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 wouldnt 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

Im 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 Im in colorado

When Im not in some hotel

Living out this life Ive 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, pap, I dont 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

Im just a living legacy

To the leader of the band

I am the living legacy

To the leader of the band.
