You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

I've seen love go by my door

It's never been this close before

It's never been so easy or so slow

I've been shooting in the dark too long

When something's not right, it's wrong

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above

I've only known careless love

It's always hit me from below

But this time 'round it's more correct

Right on target, so direct

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne Lace

Crimson hair across your face

You could make me cry if you don't know

I can't remember what I was thinking of

Might be spoiling me too much, love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside, blooming crazy

Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme

Blue river running slow and lazy

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time

Situations have ended sad

Relationships have all been bad

Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud

There's no way I can compare

All those scenes, this affair

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing

Staying right behind without you

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying

You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to

I'll look for you in old Honolula

San Francisco, Ashtabula

You're gonna have to leave me now, I know

But I'll see you in the sky above

In the tall grass, in the ones I love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
