You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Lyrics

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
 
 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
