Lyrics The Last Thing On My Mind - Joan Baez

The Last Thing On My Mind

It’s a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you goin' 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;
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
You had reasons a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
And the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don’t go, please don’t go
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Every song in my heart dies a-bornin'
Without you, without you
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
