Lyrics The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio

Last Thing On My Mind

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'

Made of sand, made of sand

In a wink of an eye my soul is turnin'

In your hand, in your hand.

Are you goin' away with no word of fare well,

Will there be not a trace left behind?

I could've 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 ev'ry mornin'

Without you, without you

Each song in my heart dies a-bornin'

Without you, without you.

You've got reason a-plenty for leavin'

This I know, this I know

For the weeds have been steadily growin'

Please, don't go, aw, please, don't go.

(Oh, yeah, I) Could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind.
