It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

You must leave, take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the Sun
Look out, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, baby blue

The highway is for gamblers
Better use your sense
Take what you have gathered
From coincidence

The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin' under you
And it's all over now, baby blue

All your seasick sailors
They are rowing home
Your empty-handed army
They are going home

Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, baby blue

Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you now
Forget about the dead
They will not follow you

The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes you once wore
Strike another match, go start a new
Oh, it's all over now, baby blue
