It's a lesson too late for th
e learning
Made of sand m ade of
sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is tur
ning
In your ha nd i n your
hand
Are yo u going away with n o word
of farewell
Will there be not a trace left be
hind
Well I c ould have loved you be
tter
I didn't
mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my
mind
You've got reasons a pl enty for g
oing
Th is I k now t his I
know
For the weeds have been stea dily gro
wing
Please don't go p lease don't
go
Are yo u going away with no word of fare
well
Will there be not a trace left behi
nd
Well I could have loved you
better
I didn't
mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my
mind
As I lie in my b ed in the
morning
Without y ou, wi thout you
Each song in my breast dies a-
borning
With out you , wit
hout you
Are y ou going away with no word of fare
well
Will there be n ot a trace left beh
ind
Well I could have loved you
better
I didn't
mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my m
ind
As I walk alone m y thoughts a
re tumbling
Round and round round a
nd round
Underneath our feet a subway's
rumbling
Unde rground und
erground
Are you going away with no wor
d 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 m
y mind] bis
