The Last Thing On My Mind Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

It's a lesson too late for the learning 

Made of sand, oh it's made of sand 

In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning 

In your hand, in your hand 

Are you going away with no word of farewell 

Will there be not a trace for me to find 

Well I could have loved you better 

I didn't mean to be unkind 

Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind 

As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down 

Round and around, round and round 

And underneath I hear the subway's trumblin' 

Underground, underground 

Are you going away with no word of farewell 

Will there be not a trace left behind 

Well I could have loved you better 

I didn't mean to be unkind 

You know that was the last thing on my mind 

You've got reasons of plenty for going 

This I know, this I know 

For the weeds have been steadily growing 

Please don't grow, please don't grow 

Are you going away with no word of farewell 

Will there be not a trace left to find 

Well I could have loved you better 

I didn't mean to be unkind 

You know that was the last thing on my mind
