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 anew
And it's all over now
Baby Blue
