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
Cryin' 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 drawin' crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky, too, is foldin' under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowin' home
Your empty-handed armies are goin' home
Your lover, who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is movin' under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your steppin' stones behind, there's somethin' that calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rappin' at your door
Is standin' in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
