You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

Purple clover, Queen Anne’s lace,
(golden) 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 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 (ocean) running slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time
…Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m doin’,
Stayin’ far behind without you.
Yer gonna make me wonder what I’m sayin’,
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin’ to.
I looked for you in old Honolula, 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
—Bob Dylan, 1974, with a few minor changes a propos to my guy

Oh, Neddy Sweets!!!! You have to go back to work!!!!! I wish you were staying here with me. What will it be like? I know everyone thinks I’m silly but I miss you already. And that’s that.

I haven’t felt that kind of pain in a while. Does his going mean you are gonna be online all day for three days? What a treat for these dear readers. Just think of the reunion. :O What will you wear? 🙂

Wonderful song. But I always thought it was, “you might be spoiling me, too much love.”

It makes me think of my children.
