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.
walk on slowly don't look behind you.
don't say goodbye, love. i won't remind you.
