Slow Marching Band lyrics - Jethro Tull song

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 ?
- Join together in the passing
Of all we shared through yesterday
In sorrow 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.
