Youre Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go by Ben Watt Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1983

I've seen love go by my door, but
It's never been this close before
Never been this easy or this slow

I've been shooting in the dark too long
When something's not right, it's wrong
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
Gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You gonna make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
But you might be spoilin' me too much, love
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 they can compare
All those scenes to this affair
Gonna make me lonesome when you go

Gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
Stayin' far behind without you
Gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin', no
You gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
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
Gonna make me lonesome when you go
Gonna make me lonesome when you go
Gonna make me lonesome when you go
