A lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand made of sand
In the wink of an eye
my soul is turning
In your hand in your hand
Are you going 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 walk alone my thoughts're tumbling
round and round round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumbling
underground underground
Are you going away
with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing
on my mind
You got reasons of plenty for going
this I know this I know
The weeds have been steadily growing
please don't go please don't go
Are you going away
with no word of farewell
Will there be
not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing
on my mind
You know that was the last thing
on my mind
