Youre Gonna Make Me Lonesome

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'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 always has hit me from below

But this time 'round 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 thinking of, you might be spoiling me too much, love

You're 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, relationships have all been bad

Mine have been like Verlaine 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 look for you in old Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula

You're gonna have to leave me now, I know

But I'll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and the ones I love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
