know when to hold em, know when to fold em

I've seen love go by my door
it's never been this close before
it's never been so easy or so slow

I've been shooting in the dark too long
somethings not right, it's wrong
and you're gonna make lonesome when you go

purple clover, queen anne's lace,
the crimson hair across your face
you could make me cry but you don't know

I don't know what I was thinking of
you might be spoiling me with too much love
you're gonna make me lonesome when you go

there are dragon clouds, so high above
i have only know careless love
it always hit me from below

but this time around it's more correct
right on target, so direct
you're gonna make me lonesome when you go

flowers on the hillside blowing crazy
crickets talking back and forth in a rhyme
the blue river running slow and lazy
i could stay with you forever and never realize the time

but it's situations have ended sad
relationships have all gone bad
honey it's like verlains and ramboughs
but there's no way, i can compare
all those scenes with 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

but i will look for you in honalulu
san fransisco, astabula
you're gonna have to leave me now, i know
but i'll see you in the sky's above
the tall grass and the ones i love
you're gonna make me lonesome when you go

you're gonna make me lonesome when you go
you're gonna make me lonesome
