I`ve seen love go by my door, it`s never been this close before
G G D/A D/A
It`s never been so easy or so slow
Em/G Em/F C/E - C/D C
I`ve been shooting in the dark too long, when something`s not right, it`s wrong
G D/F G G
You`re 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
I don`t remember what I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me with too much
love, honey
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go

There are dragon clouds so high above, I have only known careless love
It always hit me from below
But this time `round it`s more correct, it`s right on target and so direct
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside blowing crazy

I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time
But 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 with this affair, honey
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go
Oh, 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 will I look for you in Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula
You`re gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I`ll see you in the skies above, in the tall grass and the ones I love
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go
You`re gonna make me lonesome
