Song Lyrics

Are you goin' away with no word of fare-well
Will there be not a trace left be-hind?
Well I could have loved you better, Didn't mean to be
Unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

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 goin' away with no word of fare-well
Will there be not a trace left be-hind?
Well I could have loved you better, Didn't mean to be
Unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You got a 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 goin' away with no word of fare-well
Will there be not a trace left be-hind?
Well I could have loved you better, Didn't mean to be
Unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As we walk all my thoughts are at Tumblin'
Round and round, round and round.
Underneath our feet the subway rollin,
Under ground, under ground.

Are you goin' away with no word of fare-well
Will there be not a trace left be-hind?
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
Each song in my breast dies a mournin',
Without you, without you.

Are you goin' away with no word of fare-well
Will there be not a trace left be-hind?
Well I could have loved you better, Didn't mean to be
Unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
