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 goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should 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 goin' 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
You know that was the last thing on my mind
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies of bornin'
Without you, without you
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
