乔治低声向维克问了几句汤姆的情况，维克回答着，点着头，然后从屋角拿出吉他，递给乔治一把。
上次霭青来医院，就听见这哥儿俩给汤姆弹唱，看来是常态了。只要有家人在身边，都会尽量和汤姆交流，在耳边说话在身边弹唱。
霭青搂抱着杰杰，握着他的小手打着拍子，乔治一拨琴弦，低低的歌声响起。
Leader of the Band， Song by Dan Fogelberg
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 am a living legacy to the leader of the band
乔治的声音有些沙哑，可一词一句都带着深深的爱，霭青懂得乔治对汤姆的感情，这是乔治发自内心对父亲的呼喊，听着歌，霭青心里一阵酸楚，眼泪便流了下来。
