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’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 always just hit me from below
But 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 was thinking of
You might be spoilin’ me too much love
You´re gonna make me lonesome when you go

[Bridge 1]
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
Relationships have all been bad
Mine’ve been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud
But there’s no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair
You´re gonna make me lonesome when you go

[Bridge 2]
You´re gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’
Staying far behind without you
You´re gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’
You´re gonna make me give myself a good talking-to

I’ll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco or 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
