[00:21.65]an  only  child
[00:22.193]alone  and  wild
[00:24.222]a  cabinet  makers  son
[00:28.378]his  hands  were  meant
[00:29.791]for  different  work
[00:31.112]and  his  heart  was  known  to  none
[00:35.378]he  left  his  home
[00:36.536]and  went  his  lone
[00:38.586]and  solitary  way
[00:41.859]and  he  gave  to  me
[00:43.537]a  gift  i  know  i  never  can  repay
[00:55.325]a  quiet  man  of  music
[00:58.201]denied  a  simpler  fate
[01:02.473]he  tried  to  be  a  soldier  once
[01:05.272]but  his  music  wouldn't  wait
[01:09.554]he  earned  his  love
[01:10.837]through  discipline
[01:12.570]a  thundering,velvet  hand
[01:16.198]his  gentle  means  of  sculpting  souls
[01:19.507]took  me  years  to  understand.
[01:24.112]the  leader  of  the  band  is  tired
[01:26.805]and  his  eyes  are  growing  old
[01:30.327]but  his  blood  runs  through
[01:32.270]my  instrument
[01:33.918]and  his  song  is  in  my  soul
[01:38.156]my  life  has  been  a  poor  attempt
[01:41.942]to  imitate  the  man
[01:44.600]i'm  just  a  living  legacy
[01:48.183]to  the  leader  of  the  band.

[02:07.983]and  the  other  to  st.paul
[02:12.354]and  i'm  in  colorado
