You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
I’ve seen love go by my doorIt’s never been this close beforeNever been so easy or so slowBeen shooting in the dark too longWhen somethin’s not right it’s wrongYer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high aboveI’ve only known careless loveIt’s always hit me from belowThis time around it’s more correctRight on target, so directYer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne’s LaceCrimson hair across your faceYou could make me cry if you don’t knowCan’t remember what I was thinkin’ ofYou might be spoilin’ me too much, loveYer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazyCrickets talkin’ back and forth in rhymeBlue river runnin’ slow and lazyI could stay with you forever and never realize the time
Situations have ended sadRelationships have all been badMine’ve been like Verlaine’s and RimbaudBut there’s no way I can compareAll those scenes to this affairYer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’Stayin’ far behind without youYer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to
I’ll look for you in old HonoluluSan Francisco, AshtabulaYer gonna have to leave me now, I knowBut I’ll see you in the sky aboveIn the tall grass, in the ones I loveYer gonna make me lonesome when you go
