[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Could you get behind a slow marching band?
And join together in the passing
Of all we shared through yesterdays
In sorrows neverlasting

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Walk on slowly, don't look behind you
Don't say goodbye, love, I won't remind you
Remind you
