Lyrics for Song: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Lyrics for Album: Blood On The Tracks
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
If 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
But this time around it's more correct
Right on target and so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace
Crimson hair across your face
You can make me cry but you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiling me with 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 spend forever with you and never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's
But there's no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair, honey
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, 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

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Bob Dylan's 'You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go' stands as a poignant centerpiece on the 1975 album Blood On The Tracks. Recorded during a period of profound personal turmoil, the track captures the raw ache of impending separation and the lingering grief that follows. The song exemplifies Dylan's signature ability to weave specific emotional narratives into broader folk-rock anthems, utilizing a haunting melody and introspective lyrics to explore themes of loss and memory. Its inclusion on this seminal work highlights the album's cohesive exploration of fractured relationships and the passage of time, cementing the song's status as a defining moment in his discography. |
