baby blue

Singer: barry mcguire

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 street

is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

this sky

too

is folding under you

and it's all over now

baby blue

ah

leave your stepping stones behind

someone calls for you

forget the dead you've left

they can not follow you

the vagabond who's rapping at your door

is standing in the clothes that you once wore

so strike another match

we'll start anew
