I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow I've 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 always has hit me from below But 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 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 have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare All them 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 Honolul-a San Francisco, 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
