It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In a wink of an eye my soul is turning In your hand, in your hand Are you going away with no words 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 As I lay in my bed in the morning Without you, without you Every song in my heart dies a-borning Without you, without you Are you going away with no words of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? Oh, I could've loved you better, I 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 words 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 Are you going away with no words 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
