You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fastYonder 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 blueThe highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidenceThe empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheet
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, baby blueAll your seasick sailors, are all rowing home
All your reindeer armies all going homeYour lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all her blankets from your floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, baby blueLeave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow youA vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, let's start anew
And it's all over now, baby blue
Oh, it's all over now, baby blue
