Everytime You Leave Lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Blue Kentucky Girl

1979

[Verse 1]
Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
I die a little more each time we part
I can't control my dreams
My heart can't seem to learn
To run and lock its door when you return
[Bridge]
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 in to you
[Verse 2]
Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live, so I'll forgive
Every time you leave
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Every time you leave
You tear the soul from me
But I want to live, so I'll forgive
Every time you leave
