It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue Songtext
von Cat Power

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 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
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets


The sky, too, is folding under you
And it′s all over now, baby blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Or your empty armies are all going home
And lover who just walked out your door
His 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′ll not follow you
And 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
