KEEP VISIBLE




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, didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind



You've got reasons aplenty 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?

I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind



As I lie in my bed in the mornin'

Without you, without you

Every song in my breast dies a born-in

Without you, without you



Are you going away with no word of farewell?

Will there be not a trace left behind?

I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind


The Last Thing On My Mind

Recorded by Marianne Faithfull on the 2002 compilation North Country Maid, this track captures the enduring melancholy characteristic of her early career. The song reflects a period where Faithfull explored themes of heartbreak and introspection, often blending folk and pop sensibilities with a raw vocal delivery that defined her signature sound. While the specific album placement here is a modern reissue, the composition remains a testament to her ability to convey deep emotion through simple, unadorned arrangements. It stands as a poignant example of her work from the era when she transitioned from the pop-folk style of her debut to more complex, emotionally charged narratives that would define her later discography.
