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

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

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 lace

Crimson hair across your face

You could make me cry if you don't know

Can't remember what I was thinking of

You 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

Oh, 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 Rembaud

But there's no way I'd compare

All those scenes to this affair

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

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

Staying far 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 Honolulu

San Francisco and Ashtabula

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

But I'll see you in the skies above

In the tall grass, in the ones I love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
