[Verse 1]
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 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 2]
As I lie in my bed every mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my heart dies a-bornin'
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'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 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've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you goin' 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
