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 Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better Didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind 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 Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better Didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind As I lie in my bed in the morning Without you, without you Each song in my breast lies is burning Without you, without you Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, 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
