Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G C/G
G          G       C/G          G       C/G
 It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
             G D7/A        G   C/G G
Made of sand,      made of sand
                     C/G           G      C/G
In the wink of an eye   my soul is turnin'
             G D7/A            G C/G G
In your hand,      in your hand

[Chorus]
          D7/A             C           G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
          C/G              G            D7/A
Will there   be not a trace left behind?
       G                     C/G
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind
        D7/A                                  G C/G G
You know    that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 2]
          G         C/G        G    C/G
You've got reasons aplenty for goin'
            G D7/A           G C/G G
This I know,      this I know
                        C/G         G   C/G
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
             G  D7/A             G C/G G
Please don't go,    please don't go

[Chorus]
          D7/A             C           G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
             C/G           G            D7/A
Will there be   not a trace left behind?
        G                    C/G
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind
         D7/A                              G C/G G
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[Verse 3]
G C/G G        G      C/G        G      C/G
       As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
            G D7/A           G C/G G
Without you,      without you
                C/G          G      C/G
Each song in my breast dies abornin'
            G D7/A           G C/G G
Without you,      without you

[Chorus]
          D7/A             C           G
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?

Will there   be not a trace left behind?
