The Last Thing On My Mind Lyrics
[00:03.99] It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
[00:10.50] Made of sand, made of sand
[00:16.53] In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
[00:22.56] In your hand, in your hand
[00:28.26] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[00:34.19] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[00:39.93] Well, I could have loved you better
[00:43.28] Didn't mean to be unkind
[00:45.98] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[00:51.26] You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
[00:57.33] This I know, this I know
[01:03.03] For the weeds have been steadily growin'
[01:08.94] Please don't go, please don't go
[01:15.37] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[01:21.05] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[01:27.29] Well, I could have loved you better
[01:30.38] Didn't mean to be unkind
[01:33.03] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[02:02.06] As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
[02:07.70] Without you, without you
[02:13.48] Each song in my breast dies abornin'
[02:19.29] Without you, without you
[02:25.31] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[02:31.37] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[02:36.70] Well, I could have loved you better
[02:39.75] Didn't mean to be unkind
[02:42.75] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[02:48.25] That was the last thing on my mind
[02:55.57]
[00:10.50] Made of sand, made of sand
[00:16.53] In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
[00:22.56] In your hand, in your hand
[00:28.26] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[00:34.19] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[00:39.93] Well, I could have loved you better
[00:43.28] Didn't mean to be unkind
[00:45.98] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[00:51.26] You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
[00:57.33] This I know, this I know
[01:03.03] For the weeds have been steadily growin'
[01:08.94] Please don't go, please don't go
[01:15.37] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[01:21.05] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[01:27.29] Well, I could have loved you better
[01:30.38] Didn't mean to be unkind
[01:33.03] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[02:02.06] As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
[02:07.70] Without you, without you
[02:13.48] Each song in my breast dies abornin'
[02:19.29] Without you, without you
[02:25.31] Are you going away with no word of farewell?
[02:31.37] Will there be not a trace left behind?
[02:36.70] Well, I could have loved you better
[02:39.75] Didn't mean to be unkind
[02:42.75] You know that was the last thing on my mind
[02:48.25] That was the last thing on my mind
