The Last Thing On My Mind Lyrics - 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. 

Chorus: 

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. 

(chorus) 

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 

(chorus) 

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.
