|
You must leave now, 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 |
|
This sky, too, is folding under you |
|
And it's all over now, Baby Blue. |
|
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home |
|
Your empty handed armies, are all 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, 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 a new |
|
And it's all over now, Baby Blue. |
