Last Thing on My Mind Songtext

von Tom Paxton

Last thing on my mind

1. It's a lesson to late for the learning,
/:made of sand :/
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
/: in your hand. :/

Refrain:

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be another trace left behind?
Well I could have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind,
You know, that was the last thing on my mind.

2. You've got reasons a-plenty for going
/: this I know: :/
For the weeds had been steadly growin'
/: please don't go. :/

3. As I lay in my bed in the morning
/: without you.:/
Each song in my breast dies aborning,
/:without you. :/
