Blood on the Tracks · 1975

You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

A spare acoustic recording from the New York sessions.

The words

A light-hearted song that already feels the loneliness ahead while a love is still in bloom.

A man in a new, happy romance already senses that it will not last and that he will miss her badly when she leaves. Rather than sinking into gloom, he sounds amused and tender, comparing this love favourably with a stormier one from his past and noticing the small sights of their days together. He imagines looking for her in distant places once she has gone. It is a spare acoustic recording from the New York sessions, light on its feet.
