That Was The Last Thing On My Mind

(album: Southbound - 1966)

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In a wink of an eye, my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand

Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Can 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 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 words of farewell?
Can 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 morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies a-burning
Without you, without you

Are you going away with no words of farewell?
Can 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

Yes, that was the last thing on my mind
