I Looked Away By Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock She took my hand, Tried to make me understand That she would always be there. I looked away Then she ran away from me today. I'm such a lone, lonely man. Came as a surprise to me. She left me here in misery Seems like only yesterday She made a vow She'd never go away. She took my hand, Tried to make me understand That she would always be there. I looked away Then she ran away from me today. I'm such a lone, lonely man. Seemed to me like such a sin For me to love another man's woman. But I guess I'll keep on sinnin', Lovin' you 'til my very last day. I looked away Then she ran away from me today. I'm such a lone, lonely man.
