[Verse 1]
I’ve seen love go by my door
It’s never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
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
But this time around it is more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 3]
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 spoiling me with 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
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 Rimbaud
But there's no way I can 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
Make me give myself a good talking-to
[Verse 7]
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
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
Oh, you're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Oh, you're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
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
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
But this time around it is more correct
Right on target, so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 3]
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 spoiling me with too much love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Oh, you're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
