I've seen love go by my doornIt's never been this close beforenNever been so easy or so slow.nBeen shooting in the dark too longnWhen somethin's not right it's wrongnYer gonna make me lonesome when you go.nnDragon clouds so high abovenI've only known careless love,nIt's always hit me from below.nThis time around it's more correctnRight on target, so direct,nYer gonna make me lonesome when you go.nnPurple clover, Queen Anne lace,nCrimson hair across your face,nYou could make me cry if you don't know.nCan't remember what I was thinkin' ofnYou might be spoilin' me too much, love,nYer gonna make me lonesome when you go.nnFlowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy,nCrickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme,nBlue river runnin' slow and lazy,nI could stay with you forevernAnd never realize the time.nnSituations have ended sad,nRelationships have all been bad.nMine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud.nBut there's no way I can comparenAll those scenes to this affair,nYer gonna make me lonesome when you go.nnYer gonna make me wonder what I'm doin',nStayin' far behind without you.nYer gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin',nYer gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to.nnI'll look for you in old Honolulu,nSan Francisco, Ashtabula,nYer gonna have to leave me now, I know.nBut I'll see you in the sky above,nIn the tall grass, in the ones I love,nYer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
