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
Into sand, into sand
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
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
That was the last thing on my mind
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies a'borning
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
That was the last thing on my mind
