The last thing on my mind

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know.
And the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you.
Every song in my heart lies a bornin'
Without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
