The Last Thing on My Mind lyrics

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?

Well, I could have loved you better,

Didn't mean to be unkind.

You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'.

This I know, this I know.

For 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?

Well, I could have loved you better,

Didn't mean to be unkind.

You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As we walk, all my thoughts are a-tumblin',

Round and round, round and round.

Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',

Underground, underground.

Are you going away with no word of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could have loved you better,

Didn't mean to be unkind.

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 breast dies a bornin',

Without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could have loved you better,

Didn't mean to be unkind.

You know that was the last thing on my mind.
