THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Last Thing On My Mind

(Tom Paxton)



It's a lesson too late for the learnin', made of sand, made of sand.

In a wink of an eye my soul is turnin' in your hand, in your hand.



[Chorus:]

Are you goin' away with no word of fare well; will there be not a trace left behind?

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 ev'ry mornin' without you, without you.

Each song in my heart dies a-bornin' without you, without you.



[Chorus]



You've got reason a-plenty for leavin'. This I know. This I know

For the weeds have been steadily growin'. Please, don't go. Aw, please, don't go.



[Chorus]



(Oh, yeah, I) could have loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind.
