The Original Animals – It's All Over Now, Baby Blue lyrics

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever it is you think you need, 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, you better use your sense.
Take whatever you gathered off from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, now is folding up on 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.
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.

Leave your stepping stones behind, someone calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left 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,let's go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
