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      Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?   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 every mornin'   Without you, without you   Each song in my heart dies a-bornin'   Without you, without you      Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?   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      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, please, don't go      Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?   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      Oh, yeah, I could have loved you better   Didn't mean to be unkind   You know that was the last thing on my mind
