The Last Thing on My Mind

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

[Chorus:]
Are you goin' away with no word of fare well,
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've 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 ev'ry mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my heart dies a-bornin'
Without you, without you.

[Chorus]

You've got reason a-plenty for leavin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please, don't go, aw, please, don't go.

[Chorus]

(Oh, yeah, I) Could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
