Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand
Made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand
In your hand
[Verse 2]
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 3]
You've got reason a plenty for going'
This I know
This I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go
Please don't go
[Verse 4]
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 5]
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you
Without you
Each song in my breast lies a bornin'
Without you
Without you
[Verse 6]
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 7]
That was the last thing on my mind
