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 Are you goin' away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind ♪ You had reasons a-plenty for goin' This I know, this I know And the weeds have been steadily growin' Please, don't go, please, don't go Are you goin' away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind ♪ As I lie in my bed in the mornin' Without you, without you Every song in my heart dies a-burnin' Without you, without you Are you goin' away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
