I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before It's never been so easy or so slow I've been sooting in the dark too long, when something's not right it's wrong You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Purple clover, Queen Anne's Lace, crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don't know I don't remember when I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me with too much love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go There are dragon cloud so high above, I have only know careless love It always hit me front below But this time 'round it's more correct, it's right on target and so direct You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Flowers on the hillside blowing crazy Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme Blue river running slow and lazy I could stay with you for ever , and never realize the time But situations have ended sad , relationships have all been bad Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's But there's no way I can compare all them scenes with this affair, honey You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Oh, you're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing Staying far behing without you You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to I will I look for you in Honolulu , San Fransisco , Ashtabula You're gonna have to leave me now, I know But I'll see you in the skies above , in the tall gra** and 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
