Who Put the Leaving in Your Eyes
Jimmy Dean · Everybody Knows [RCA Victor] [1971]
(Jim Owen)
There you are a standing at the window again
I know there's something tuggin' at your soul
You look like you could run a hole right to the wind
You're burning up with desire to go.
Your touch has a finger of the cold north wind
Oh, I know it's all over goodbye
But I know that 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 that restless feeling in your soul
Who put the leaving in your eyes.
--- Instrumental ---
For so long we've been headed down a oneway street
We've both lost all desire to try
But I know that you ain't got the strenght to leave yourself
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 that restless feeling in your soul
Who put the leaving in your eyes.
Who put the leaving in your eyes
Yeah honey, who put the leaving in your eyes...
There you are a standing at the window again
I know there's something tuggin' at your soul
You look like you could run a hole right to the wind
You're burning up with desire to go.
Your touch has a finger of the cold north wind
Oh, I know it's all over goodbye
But I know that 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 that restless feeling in your soul
Who put the leaving in your eyes.
