Lyrics:

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Bob Dylan)

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.

@lokmawa

[hugatag]

HELP HELP I AM ADDICTED TO THIS AND CAN'T STOP LISTENING.

@SmEll2101991 What a fantastic comment! There is something here that says put your past behind you and lets start a new which is something I totally agree on.So if we look at it that way there is a happy ending.

[sucraman2]

My all time favourite version...I love this entire LP!!!

[rhand]

Production reminds me of Lennon's "Mother".

[852236]

Brilliant a classic , a desert island must .

[atanasyo]

definitively perfect. Period.

[Goddamnit169]

great, but I prefer graham bonnet's version- similar but more engergetic

[sparadrapjoey]

j'ai joui.

[tbob29sm]

Excellent version! did everybody cover this? I think its the piano that gives it that John Lennon Feel. Just got back from NYC, Walking around The Dakota and Strawberry Fields in Central Park was special.

Whoever "Baby Blue" is, Bob Dylan must have despised her. This song is brutal.
