marianne faithfull
it's all over now, baby blue
You must leave now Take what you need, you think will last But whatever you wish to keep You'd better grab it fast  Yonder stands your orphan with his gun Crying like a fire in the sun Look out the saints are coming 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  The lover who just walked out your 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 you 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
