Album: North Marine Drive / Summer Into Winter
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 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
