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
Well I could have
loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
That was the last
thing on my mind
You've 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
Are you goin' away
with no word of farewell
Will there be not
a trace left behind
Well I could have
loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
That was the last
thing on my mind
As I lie in my bed
in the mornin'
Without you without you
Each song in my breast
dies a-bornin'
Without you without you
Are you goin' away
with no word of farewell
Will there be not
a trace left behind
Well I should have
loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
That was the last
thing on my mind
