The Last Thing On My Mind Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

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 farewell 

Will there be not a trace left behind? 

Well, I should have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind 

You know that was the last thing on my mind 

As we walk along, My thoughts are thumblin 

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 farewell 

Will there be not a trace left behind? 

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 of bornin' 

Without you, without you 

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell 

Will there be not a trace left behind? 

Well, I should have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind 

You know that was the last thing on my mind
