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
