I've seen love go by my door
Never been this close before
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
I 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
And forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine've been like Verlaine's
And 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 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 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
