The Last Thing on My Mind

The Last Thing On My Mind - Tom Paxton

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'

Made of sand made of sand

In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'

In your hand in your hand

Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Well 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 goin'

This I know this I know

For the weeds have been steadily growin'

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

Well 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 lies a bornin'

Without you without you

Are you going away with no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Well I could have loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

That was the last thing
