You must leave, 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 folding in over you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you left, they 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 folding over you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Well, strike another match, yeah, go start anew
'Cause it's all over now, Baby Blue
It's all over now, Baby Blue
