J-Tull Slow Marching Band Lyrics

Would you join a slow marching band,
And take pleasure in your leaving,
As the ferry sails, and tears are dried,
And cows come home at evening?

Could you get behind a slow marching band,
And join together in the passing
Of all we shared through yesterdays
in sorrows neverlasting?

Take a hand and take a bow.
You played for me; that's all for now.
Oh, and never mind the words; just hum along, and keep on going.
Walk on slowly; don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love. I won't remind you.

Dream of me as the nights draw cold,
Still marking time through winter.
You paid the piper, and called the tune,
And you marched the band away.
