Slow Marching Band - Jethro Tull

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

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
