I Looked Away Lyrics
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.
That she'd leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away.
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.
To love another man's woman, baby,
I guess I'll keep on sinning,
Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.
And she ran away from me; today,
I'm such a lonely man.
no comments? this is a great song
i do love this song.
Once again, another one for Miss Boyd.
About E.C. struggle with this complex relationship between G.H. P.B.H. and himself? great song!
Of all the songs on Layla, between this one (and the un-released Mean Old World) are the two best songs. I Looked Away is the most underated song on the album save the last song "Thorn Tree in the Garden"
Hello 2019! I think I finally cracked the puzzle. This song is actually about two different men. Each loving the same woman but being in the opposite end of the same situation. One of the men is singing about a woman that left him because he “looked away” while the other one is singing about loving “another mans women”. What made me come up with that theory is the chance is the way they sang each verse. When it was the first verse the man had a quieter almost sad sound while the second verse sounds like a confident loud man who’s making up his mind on continuing to see this woman who’s married. The song is is basically laid out as
.chorus about the main male character blaming himself-> verse 1: his love and how she left him/her vow -> chorus-> verse 2: a man who loves a women that loves another man->chorus (sung by the main character) It’s as if it’s one big continuous story with a snipit of another male character who seems to be in love with a married women. Or even the main characters main women
Hope this sparks up something else!
