You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go - Take 5

I've seen love go by my door

It's never been this close before

Never been so easy or so slow

I been shootin' 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 always has 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 can make me cry but you don't know

Can't remember what I was thinking of

You 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's

But there's no way I can compare

All them scenes to this affair,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing

Staying far 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 Honolulu

San Francisco or 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
