You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Lyrics

I've seen love go by my door

It's never been so close before

Never been so easy or so slow

Been shooting in the dark too long

If somethin' isn't right it's wrong

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds high above

I've only known careless love

It always has hit me from below

But this time around it's more correct

Right on target, so direct

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne lace

Crimson hair across your face

You can make me cry if you don't know

Can't remember what I was thinkin' of

You might be spoilin' me with too much love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy

Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme

Blue rivers runnin' 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 the lanes and rambles

But there's no way I can compare

All those scenes to that affair

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'

Stayin' far behind without you

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'

You're gonna make me give myself a good talkin' 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

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
