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   If 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   But this time around it's more correct   Right on target and so direct   You're gonna make me lonesome when you go      Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace   Crimson hair across your face   You can make me cry but you don't know   Can't remember what I was thinking of   You might be spoiling me with too much love   You're gonna make me lonesome when you go      Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy   Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme   Blue river running slow and lazy   I could spend forever with you and never realize the time      Situations have ended sad   Relationships have all been bad   Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's   But there's no way I can compare   All them scenes to this affair, honey   You're gonna make me lonesome when you go      You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing   Staying far behind without you   You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying   You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to      I'll look for you in old Honolulu   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
