It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Take 1) Lyrics

You must leave now, take what you need, you think, will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you'd 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
Your empty-handed painter from the streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
But at night it is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

All your seasick sailors, they're all rowing home
All your reindeer armies, they're all going home
Your broken-hearted lover 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, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
'Cause it's all over now, Baby Blue
