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.
