It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

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 

This sky, too, is folding under you 

And it's all over now, baby blue 

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home 

All your reindeer 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, 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
