The Last Thing On My Mind

Tom Paxton

© Deep Fork Music, ASCAP

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

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

As I walk alone my thoughts are tumbling
Round and round round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumbling
Underground underground

Are you going away with no word of farewell...

I got reasons of plenty for going
This I know this I know
The weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go please don't go

Are you going away with no word of farewell...
[ guitar ]
Are you going away with no word of farewell...
You know that was the last thing on my mind
