It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue Songtext
von Marianne Faithfull

You must leave now, take what you need you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you′d 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
The 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 armies are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
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 you, 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 anew
And it′s all over now, Baby Blue
