The Last Thing On My Mind – Marianne Faithfull

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, 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
For the weeds 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, didn’t mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As I lie in my bed in the mornin’
Without you, without you
Every song in my breast dies a born-in
Without you, without you

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
