Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
It's never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When something's not right, it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 thinking of
You might be spoiling me too much love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 4]
Flowers on the hillside, blooming crazy
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
Blue river running slow and lazy
Oh, I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time
[Verse 5]
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rembaud
But there's no way I'd compare
All those scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco and Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me know, 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
