[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
