Iʼve seen love go by my door, itʼs never been this close before
AC#mDD
Never been so easy or so slow

Iʼve been shooting in the dark too long, when somethingʼs not right, itʼs wrong

Youʼre gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above, Iʼve only known careless love
It always has hit me from below
But this time ʼround itʼs more correct, right on target, so direct
Youʼre gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne Lace, crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you donʼt know
Canʼt remember what I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me too much, love
Youʼre 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, relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine and Rimbaud
But thereʼs no way I can compare all those scenes to this affair
Youʼre gonna make me lonesome when you go
Youʼre gonna make me wonder what Iʼm doing
Staying far behind without you
Youʼre gonna make me wonder what Iʼm saying
Youʼre gonna make me give myself a good talking to
I look for you in old Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula
Youʼre gonna have to leave me now, I know
But Iʼll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and the ones I love
Youʼre gonna make me lonesome when you go
