Lyrics:

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

Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always 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

Purple clover, Queen Anne Lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know

I can't remember what I was thinking of
Might be spoiling me too much, love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

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

Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud

There's no way I can compare
All those scenes, this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing
Staying right behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to

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

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
