   The Last Thing on My Mind

 

 

  作词：Tom Paxton

  

  It's a lesson too late for the learning

  Made of sand, made of sand

  In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'

  In your hand, in your hand

  

  Are you going away with no word of farewell

  Will there be not a trace left behind

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

  You know that was the last thing on my mind

  

  You've got reason 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 going away with no word of farewell

  Will there be not a trace left behind

  Well, 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 in the mornin'

  Without you, without you.

  Every song in my breast lies a bornin'

  Without you, without you.

  

  Are you going away with no word of farewell

  Will there be not a trace left behind

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

  You know that was the last thing on my mind

  That was the last thing on my mind
