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 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 doin'
Stayin' far behind without you

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

Ooh, 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
