The Last Thing On My Mind Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

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? 

I could have 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? 

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 mornin' 

Without you, without you. 

Every song in my breast dies a born-in 

Without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell, 

Will 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.
