Last Thing on My Mind by Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In a wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand

[Chorus]
Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Will it be not a trace left behind?
Well, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 2]
As I lay in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Every song in my heart dies upon you
Without you, without you

[Chorus]
And are you going away with no words of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Oh, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 3]
You've got reasons aplenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go, please don't

[Chorus]
Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
