It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my heart is turning In your hand, in your hand Are you going 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 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 As I lie in my bed in the morning Without you, without you Every song in my heart lies a burning Without you, without you Are you going 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
