[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 words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Are you goin' away with no words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 3]
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies a-burnin'
Without you, without you
[Chorus]
Are you goin' away with no words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind

[Outro]
Yes, that was the last thing on my mind
