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 baby, 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 The sky too is fallin in over you- ooo And it's all over now baby blue
(instrumental)
Leave your stepping stones behind There's something that calls for you Forget the debt you left that will not follow you
Your lover who has just walked through the door Has taken all his blankets from the floor The carpet too is foldin' over you And it's all over now baby blue
Well strike another match, yeah, go start a-new Go start a-new 'cause it's all over now baby blue Hey, hey, yeah It's all over, it's all over now baby blue It's all over, it's all over now oh yeah Fades It's all over now, it's all over now baby blue
