Townes Van Zandt

Last Thing on My Mind

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

Are you going away with no words of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

As I lay in my bed in the morning

Without you, without you

Every song in my heart dies a-borning

Without you, without you

Are you going away with no words of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

Oh, I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reasons a-plenty for going

This I know, this I know

For the weeds have been steadily growing

Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away with no words of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could've 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've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind
