Last Thing on my Mind

Tom Paxton

Transposer:

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 Well 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 For the weeds 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 Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind As I lie in my bed in the morning Without you, without you Each song in my breast dies a-borning 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 I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind As I walk alone my thoughts are tumbling Round and round round and round Underneath our feet a subway's rumbling Underground underground Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know [that was the last thing on my mind] bis

Cette chanson évoque les regrets et la tristesse face à un départ inattendu. Le narrateur réfléchit à des erreurs passées et à la douleur de voir quelqu'un s'éloigner sans explication, se demandant s'il aurait pu agir différemment. Il souligne son incapacité à exprimer ses sentiments alors qu'il réalise trop tard l'importance de cette relation. Le contexte semble graviter autour de l'idée de séparation et de choix douloureux, illustrant comment les mots non prononcés peuvent laisser une empreinte indélébile. Cela renvoie à une expérience universelle, où la nostalgie et le désir de réparer des relations brisées se mêlent à un sentiment de perte.
