[Verse 1]
I have seen love go by my door
It has never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
I have been shooting in the dark too long
When something not right it is wrong
You're going to make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 2]
Dragon clouds so high above
I have only known careless love
It has always hit me from below
This time around it is more correct
Right on target so direct
You are going to 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 do not know
Cannot remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiling me too much love
You are going to 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 4]
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine has been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there is no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
You are going to make me lonesome when you go
[Verse 6]
You are going to make me wonder what I am doing
Staying far behind without you
You are going to make me wonder what I am saying
Make me give myself a good talking to
[Verse 7]
I will look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
You are going to have to leave me now I know
But I will see you in the sky above
In the tall gra** in the ones I love
You are going to make me lonesome when you go
You are going to make me lonesome when you go
You are going to make me lonesome when you go
[Outro]
You are going to make me lonesome when you go
