It's a lesson to late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hands, in your hands

Are you going away with the word of farewell
Let it be not a trace left behind
I should have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind
You've got a reason of plenty for going
This I know, this I know
Who reached out and steadily growin'

Please don't go, please don't go
Are you going away with the word of farewell
Let it be not a trace left behind
I should have loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
As we walk along my thoughs are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Beneath my feet the subway's rumblin'

Underground, underground
Are you going away with the word of farewell
Let it be not a trace left behind
I should 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
