The Last Thing on My Mind Lyrics
[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 is 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?
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Are you goin' 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies abornin'
Without you, without you
[Chorus]
Are you goin' 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
That was the last thing on my mind
