the faint - the conductor lyricsconfident with your back to the audience
tremelo strings begin with your gesturing wrist
start the orchestra slow with an elegant air
then a circular sweep crescendoing swell
leo slatkin, dohnanyi, previne, depaur
your arms are calling out
they wave like a swarm of sound
you pull the sound from scores of notes
you step the stage and talk control
your conduction vere'se in a moment of silence
your body directs a pulse of wind
von karajan, hampton, menuhim, leving
your arms are calling out
they wave like a swarm of sound
you pull the sound from scores of notes
you step the stage and take control
control. |
