I Looked Away

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock



She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But i looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.



It came as no surprise to me

That she'd leave me in misery.

It seemed like only yesterday

She made a vow that she'd never walk away.



First verse



And if it seemed a sin

To love another man's woman, baby,

I guess i'll keep on sinning

Loving her, lord, till my very last day.



But i looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.
