Them - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue lyrics

rate me

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last<br />

But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast<br />

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun<br />

Crying like a fire in the sun<br />

Look out the saints are comin' through<br />

And it's all over now, Baby Blue<br />

<br />

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense<br />

Take what you have gathered from coincidence<br />

The empty handed painter from your streets<br />

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets<br />

This sky, too, is folding under you<br />

And it's all over now, Baby Blue<br />

<br />

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home<br />

Your empty handed armies, are all going home<br />

Your lover who just walked out the door<br />

Has taken all his blankets from the floor<br />

The carpet, too, is moving under you<br />

And it's all over now, Baby Blue<br />

<br />

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you<br />

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you<br />

The vagabond who's rapping at your door<br />

Is standing in the clothes that you once wore<br />

Strike another match, go start a new<br />

And it's all over now, Baby Blue
