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?
-- 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; thats 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.
