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 Chorus: Are you going away? With no word of farewell Will there be not a trace Left behind. Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know, that was the last thing on my mind You 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. Chorus
