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 its 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 its all over now
baby blue. all your seasick sailors
they are rowing home. all your reindeer armies
are all going home. the lover who just walked out your door
has taken all his blankets from the floor. the carpet
too
is moving under you
and its all over now
baby blue. leave your stepping stones behind
something calls for you. forget the dead youve left
they will not follow you. the vagabond whos rapping at your door
is standing in the clothes that you once wore. strike another match
go start anew
and its all over now
baby blue.
