You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go - Bob Dylan

I've seen love go by my door

It's never been this close before

Never been so easy or so slow

I've been shooting in the dark too long

When something 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 thinking of

You might be spoiling me too much love

Yer 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

Relationship 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 doing

Staying far behind without you

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm saying

Yer gonna make me give myself a good talking 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
