I’ve seen love go by my door
It’s never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin’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
This time around it’s more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go


Purple clover, Queen Anne’s Lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don’t know
Can’t remember what I was thinkin’ of
You might be spoilin’ me too much, love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go


Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazy
Crickets talkin’ back & forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin’ slow &d lazy
I could stay with you forever & never realize the time


Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine’ve been like Verlaine’s & Rimbaud
But there’s no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go


You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Stayin’ far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to


I’ll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
Yer 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
