Tom Paxton - The last thing on my mind 1978 <br /> <br />It's a lesson too late for the learnin' <br />Made of sand, made of sand <br />In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' <br />In your hand, in your hand. <br /> <br />Are you going away with no word of farewell? <br />Will there be not a trace left behind? <br />Well, I could have loved you better, <br />Didn't mean to be unkind. <br />You know that was the last thing on my mind. <br /> <br />You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'. <br />This I know, this I know. <br />For the weeds have been steadily growin'. <br />Please don't go, please don't go. <br /> <br />Are you going away with no word of farewell? <br />Will there be not a trace left behind? <br />Well, I could have loved you better, <br />Didn't mean to be unkind. <br />You know that was the last thing on my mind. <br /> <br />(Instrumental) <br /> <br />As I lie in my bed in the mornin', <br />Without you, without you. <br />Every song in my breast dies a bornin', <br />Without you, without you. <br /> <br />Are you going away with no word of farewell? <br />Will there be not a trace left behind? <br />Well, I could have loved you better, <br />Didn't mean to be unkind. <br />You know that was the last thing on my mind. <br /> <br />That was the last thing on my mind.
