Every Time You Leave

Emmylou Harris · Portraits [Warner] [1996]

(Charlie Louvin/Ira Louvin)



Everytime you leave

You tear the soul from me

I die a little more each time apart

I can't control my dreams

My heart can't seem to learn

To turn and lock it's door when you return.



I know that you'll come back again

As soon as you get blue

And I know what will happen then

One kiss and I'll give one to you.



Everytime you leave

You tear the soul from me

But I want to live so I'll forgive

Everytime you leave...
