Who Put the Leaving in Your Eyes

Dottie West · Forever Yours [RCA Victor] [1970]

(Jim Owen)



There you are standing at the window again

I know there's something tuggin' at your soul

You look like you could run a hole in the wind

You're burning up with desire to go.



Your touch has the hands of the cold north wind

I know it's all over but goodbye

To know you don't have the strenght to leave alone

So who put the leaving in your eyes?



Who planted this satisfaction in your mind

Who gave you the strenght to say goodbye

Who put the restless feeling in your soul

Who put the leaving in your eyes?



For so long we've been headed down a oneway street

We've both lost all desire to try

But I know you don't have the strenght to leave alone

So who put the leaving in your eyes?



Who planted this satisfaction in your mind

Who gave you the strenght to say goodbye

Who put the restless feeling in your soul

Who put the leaving in your eyes?



I see the leaving in your eyes

Who put the leaving in your eyes?



Baby, who put the leaving in your eyes?...
