It's a lesson too late for the learning
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've loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
(Intro)
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've loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
(Intro x2)
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies of boredom
Without you, without you
Are you goin' away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could've loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
And that was the last thing on my mind
(Intro)
