Verse 1

I’ve seen love go by my door

 It’s never been this close before

Never been so easy or so slow

Been shooting in the dark too long

 When somethin’s not right it’s wrong

Yer 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

This time around it’s more correct

Right on target, so direct

Yer 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

Can’t remember what I was thinkin’ of

You might be spoilin’ me too much love

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Part 2

Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazy

Crickets talkin’ back and forth in rhyme

Blue river runnin’ slow and lazy

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time

Verse

follow the scheme)

Situations have ended sad

Relationships have all been bad

Mine’ve been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud

But there’s no way I can compare

All those scenes to this affair

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Part 2 (follow the scheme)

Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’

Stayin’ far behind without you

Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’

Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to

Verse

follow the scheme)

I’ll look for you in old Honolulu

San Francisco, Ashtabula

Yer 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

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go [x2]
