You must leave now, take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You better grab it fast
Yoder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, though, the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Oh, oh, Baby Blue
Oh, oh
All your seasick sailors
They are rowing home
Your empty-handed army
They are going home
Your 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
Oh, oh Baby, Baby Blue
Oh, oh
Leave your stepping stones behind
Something calls for you
Leave the dead behind
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
Oh, oh, Baby, Baby Blue
Oh, oh, Baby, Baby Blue
Oh, oh, Baby, Baby Blue
Oh, oh, Baby, Baby Blue
Baby Blue
