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 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
[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
