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,
He's crying like a fire in the sun.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your empty-handed armies, they are going home.
You're a lover who just walked out the door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The old vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
This sky, too, is falling over you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All over now, baby blue
And it's all over now, baby blue
It's all over now, baby blue
