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 baby the saints are comin through Because it´s all over now, baby blue
The highway is for gamblers, you 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 over you Because it´s all over now, baby blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, there´s something that calls for you Forget the dead you´ve left, they will not follow you The carpet, too, is falling over you Because it´s all over now, baby blue
