You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow Been shootin' 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 'round 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'm 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 Oh, 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 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 doin' Stayin' far behind without you You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin' Gonna make me give myself a good talkin' 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 skies above In the tall grass, in the ones I love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
