Last Thing On My Mind

(album: Something Else - 1965)

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 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 morning without you, without you
Each song in my heart dies a-borning without you, without you

Are you going 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

You've got reason a-plenty for leaving. This I know. This I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing. Please, don't go. Aw, please, don't go

Are you going 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

(Oh, yeah, I) could have loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
