It's a lesson too late for the learning,
|
Made of sand, made of sand,
|
In the wink of an eye my soul 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,
|
I 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,
|
And the weeks have been steadily growing,
|
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?
|
I could have loved you better,
|
I didn't mean to be unkind,
|
You know that was the last thing on my mind;
|
|
As we walk on, my thoughts are a-tumbling,
|
Round and round, round and round,
|
Underneath our feet the subway's rumbling,
|
Underground, underground;
|
|
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
|
Will there be not a trace left behind?
|
I could have loved you better,
|
I didn't mean to be unkind,
|
You know that was the last thing on my mind;
|
|
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
|
Will there be not a trace left behind?
|
I could have loved you better,
|
I didn't mean to be unkind,
|
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
