周华健《Leader of The Band》

[00:00.00]Leader of The Band - 周华健 (Emil Wakin Chau) [00:25.44]An only child alone and will, [00:28.25]A cab. maker's son. [00:32.69]His hands were meant for different work [00:35.44]And his heart was known to none. [00:39.87]He left his home and went his lone [00:43.44]And solitary way. [00:46.75]He gave me a gift tied on [00:50.13]I never can repay. [01:00.52]A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate. [01:07.83]He tried to be a soldier once [01:10.90]But his music couldn't wait. [01:14.84]He earned his love through discipline [01:18.15]A thundering velvet hand. [01:21.59]His gentle means of sculpting souls [01:25.21]Took me years to understand. [01:30.09]The leader of the band is tired [01:33.15]And his eyes are growing old. [01:36.22]But his blood runs through my instrument [01:39.96]And his song is in my soul. [01:44.53]My life has been a poor attempt [01:48.28]To imitate the man. [01:51.34]I'm just a living legacy [01:54.66]To the leader of the band. [02:05.22]My brothers' lives were different [02:07.53]For they heard another call. [02:12.03]One went to Chicago and the other to St.Paul. [02:19.84]And I'm in Colorado [02:22.47]When I'm not in some hotel. [02:26.78]Living out this life I've chose [02:29.91]And.e to know so well. [03:00.37]I thank you for the music [03:03.06]And your stories of them all. [03:07.75]I thank you for the freedom [03:10.49]When it came my time to go. [03:15.18]I thank you for the kindness [03:17.70]And the times when you got tough. [03:21.58]And papa, I don't think I said [03:25.32]I love you near enough. [03:30.01]The leader of the band is tired [03:32.95]And his eyes are growing old. [03:36.26]But his blood runs through my instrument [03:39.95]And his song is in my soul. [03:44.52]My life has been a poor attempt [03:48.20]To imitate the man. [03:51.27]I'm just a living legacy [03:54.77]To the leader of the band. [03:58.83]I'm just a living legacy [04:02.14]To the leader of the band.
