You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go Songtext
von Madeleine Peyroux

I′ve seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shootin′ 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 ′round it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
You′re gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don′t know
Can't remember what I'm 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
Oh, 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
There's no way I'd 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 doin′
Stayin' far behind without you
You′re gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin′
Gonna make me give myself a good talkin' 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 skies above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
