You Re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go lyrics

( Bob Dylan )

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 something`s not right it`s wrong
You`re 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,
You`re 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,
You`re 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,
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go

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`ll look for you in old Honolulu,
San Francisco and Ashtabula,
You`re 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,
You`re gonna make me lonesome when you go.
