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;
Im such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me
That shed leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that shed never walk away.

First verse

And if it seemed a sin
To love another mans woman, baby,
I guess Ill keep on sinning
Loving her, lord, till my very last day.

But I looked away
And she ran away from me today;
Im such a lonely man.
