Would you join a slow marching band?
And take pleasure in your leaving
As the ferry sails and tears are dried
And [bad word] 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
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
