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
I've been shooting in the dark too long
When something not right it's wrong
Yer 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 around it's more correct
Right on target so direct
Yer 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 thinking of…
You might be spoiling me too much love,
Yer 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 stay with you forever
And never realize the time.

Situations have ended sad.
Relationship have all been bad,
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud,
But there's no way I can compare.
All those scenes to this affair,
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doing,
Staying far behind without you…
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm saying,
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talking to.

I'll look for you in old Honolulu,
San Francisco, Ashtabula.
Yer 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
Yer gonna make me lonesome whe
