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 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   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 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 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 Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
