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.
