It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - Portastatic

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 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 army

Is all going home

Your lover who is just walked out the town

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

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 a new

And it's all over now baby blue
