[Verse 1]
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 shooting in the dark too long
When something's not right it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
There are dragon clouds 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

[Bridge]
Flowers on the hillside blowing 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]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 5]
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 grass 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
