Tom Paxton - The last thing on my mind 1978

Tom Paxton - The last thing on my mind 1978

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

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

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'.
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growin'.
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?
Well, I could have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind.
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

(Instrumental)

As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a bornin',
Without you, without you.

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

That was the last thing on my mind.

Great. Thank you Tom for a great song.

[wilmaohman]

This made both the pop and country charts in both the states and the UK,depending on who was singing.

Great moustache.

I just heard this song after 30 years and listened to 6-8 different versions. This is absolutely the BEST!

I love Tom's version, he wrote it after all

[surrabaya]

Excellent performance
