I Looked Away

Lyrics: Clapton, Whitlock
Music: Clapton, Whitlock

Sung by Luther Dickson with Phil Lesh and Friends in November 2013 as part of their (and American Jubilee's) cover of the album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs".

She took my hand and tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me here in misery
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow she'd never run away

She took my hand and tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away then she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, babe
I guess I'll keep on sinning
Loving her ohh till my very last day

But I looked away and she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man
