The Last Thing On My Mind
Tekst/melodi: 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
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 along my thoughts are tumblin’
round and round round and round
underneath our feet the subways rumblin’
underground underground
Are you going away with no word of farewell ………………
I’ve got reason of plenty for goin’
This I know this I know
the weeds have been steadily growin’
Please don’t go please don’t go
Are you going away with no word of farewell ………………
Are you going away with no word of farewell ………………
You know that was the last thing on my mind
