verse 1
I've seen love go by my door
Never been this close before
Never seemed so easy or so slow
I been shootin' in the dark too long
When something's not right it must be wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
verse 2
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
An'it always has 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
verse 3
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
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Middle 8
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 realise the time
verse 4
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there is no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Middle 8
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
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
Verse 5
I'll look for you in old Honolula
San Francisco, 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
