It's All Over Now Baby Blue

It's All over Now, Baby Blue - Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs

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

Ah

Crying like a fire in the sun

Ah

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

Ah

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

Ah

The sky too is folding under you

And it's all over now baby blue

All your seasick sailors

They're all rowing home

Your empty handed army is all going home

The lover who just walked out your door

Ah

Has taken all his blankets from the floor

Ah

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

Ah

Is standing in the clothes that you once wore

Ah

So strike another match go start anew

And it's all over now baby blue

Ah baby blue

Ah baby blue

Baby blue baby blue
