It’s a lesson too late for the learningMade of sand, oh it’s made of sandIn the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turningIn your hand, in your handAre you going away with no word of farewellWill there be not a trace for me to findWell I could have loved you betterI didn’t mean to be unkindOh you must know it was the last thing on my mindAs we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down downRound and around, round and roundAnd underneath I hear the subway’s trumblin’Underground, undergroundAre you going away with no word of farewellWill there be not a trace left behindWell I could have loved you betterI didn’t mean to be unkindYou know that was the last thing on my mindYou’ve got reasons of plenty for goingThis I know, this I knowFor the weeds have been steadily growingPlease don’t grow, please don’t growAre you going away with no word of farewellWill there be not a trace left to findWell I could have loved you betterI didn’t mean to be unkindYou know that was the last thing on my mind [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/electric_light_orchestra/the_last_thing_on_my_mind.html ]
