Last Thing On My Mind

Tom Paxton

[Verse 1]
It's 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

[Verse 2]
As we walk along, my thoughts are tumbling
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
Underneath our feet are subways rumbling
Underground, underground

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

[Verse 3]
You've got reasons a-plenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go, please don't go

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

[Verse 4]
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Every song in my head dies a-borning
Without you, without you
Without you, without you
Without you
