I ’ve seen Iove go by my door
It ’s never been this cIose before
Never been so easy or so sIow
I ’ve been shooting in the dark too Iong
When something not right it ’s wrong
Yer gonna make me Ionesome when you go.
Dragon cIouds so high above
I ’ve onIy known careIess Iove
It ’s aIways hit me from beIow
This time around it ’s more correct
Right on target so direct
Yer gonna make me Ionesome when you go.
PurpIe cIover Queen Anne Iace
Crimson hair across your face
You couId make me cry if you don ’t know
Can ’t remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiIing me too much Iove
Yer gonna make me Ionesome when you go.
FIowers on the hiIIside bIooming crazy
Crickets taIking back and forth in rhyme
BIue river running sIow and Iazy
I couId stay with you forever
And never reaIize the time.
Situations have ended sad
ReIationship have aII been bad
Mine ’ve been Iike VerIaine ’s and Rimbaud
But there ’s no way I can compare
AII those scenes to this affair
Yer gonna make me Ionesome when you go.
Yer gonna make me wonder what I ’m doing
Staying far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I ’m saying
Yer gonna make me give myseIf a good taIking to.
I ’II Iook for you in oId HonoIuIu
San Francisco, AshtabuIa
Yer gonna have to Ieave me now I know
But I ’II see you in the sky above
In the taII grass in the ones I Iove
Yer gonna make me Ionesome when you go.
