Always On My Mind Lyrics - All Our Own Work - Sandy Denny

It's a lesson too late for the learning 

Made of sand, made of sand 

In the winking 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 

But you know that was the last thing on my mind 

You had reasons 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 

But you know that was the last thing on my mind 

As we walk, my thoughts are a-tumbling 

Round and round, round and round 

And the subway beneath my feet is a-rumbling 

Underground, underground 

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 

But you know that was the last thing on my mind 

As I lie in my bed in the morning 

Without you, without you 

Every song in my breast dies a-borning 

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 

But you know that was the last thing on my mind 

Oh yes it was the last thing on my mind
