The Last Thing On My Mind
[Verse 1: JP Harris & Malin Pettersen]
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: JP Harris and Malin Pettersen]
Are you going 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
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 2: JP Harris & Malin Pettersen]
As we walk along my thoughts are tumbling
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumbling
Underground, underground
[Chorus: JP Harris and Malin Pettersen]
Are you going 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
You know that was the last thing on my mind
[Verse 3: JP Harris & Malin Pettersen]
I've got reasons a-plenty for going
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go, please don't go
[Chorus: JP Harris and Malin Pettersen]
Are you going 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
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you going 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
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
