[Verse 1]
It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul was turnin'
In your hand, in your hand

[Chorus]
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Now, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?

[Verse 2]
You have reason a-plenty for the goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily a-growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

[Chorus]
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Now, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
[Verse 3]
As I walk along the street alone this mornin'
Without you, without you
Every hope in my heart dies a-bornin'
Without you, without you

[Chorus]
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Now, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
Don't you know that was the last thing on my mind?
