"That Was The Last Thing On My Mind" lyrics
"That Was The Last Thing On My Mind"
It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In a wink of an eye, my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you goin' away with no words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind
You 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 words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have 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 dies a-burnin'
Without you, without you
Are you goin' away with no words of farewell?
Can there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind
Yes, that was the last thing on my mind
