Lyrics John Wetton

John Wetton

The Last Thing On My Mind

It's late in the evening and there's no-one at home

I'm making the most of being on my own

Avowed intention is to be alone

But I'm one step closer to the danger zone

Between uncertainty and what is real

Lies never exactly knowing how I feel

I shake my head, inhale the cold night air

And I say to myself, yeah

You were

The last thing on my mind

But never far behind

The first thing that I'd find

Eight in the morning, and it's happened again

I'm walking the street to find that long-lost friend

Destroying Angel is the lover of mine

Through the doors, down to darkness at the golden sign

On every corner, on any day

She'll pick me up and chase my blues away

I know her face, but may as well be blind

Cause I say to myself…

You were

The last thing on my mind

Never far behind

But the first thing that I'd find
