Ian Anderson - 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 pa**ing 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 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
