[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 turning
In your hand, in your hand

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

[Verse 2]
You've got reasons of plenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
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
Well I could've loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
As I lie in my bed in the morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my brass dies aborning
Without you, without you

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