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.
