[Verse 1]
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, In your hand

[Chorus]
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
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

[Verse 2]
As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumblin'
Underground, Underground

[Chorus]
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Oh, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[Bridge]
I've got reason a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go
[Chorus]
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
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
