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, 
I didn't mean to be unkind, 
You know that was the last thing on my mind;  

You've got reasons a-plenty for going, 
This I know, this I know, 
And the weeks have been steadily growing, 
Please don't go, please don't go;  

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

As we walk on, my thoughts are a-tumbling, 
Round and round, round and round, 
Underneath our feet the subway’s rumbling, 
Underground, underground; 

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

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