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
Cryin' like the fire in the sun
Look out, though, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue, oh, oh
Baby Blue, oh, oh

All your seasick sailors
They are rowin' home
Your empty-handed army
They are goin' home

Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is movin' under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue, oh, oh
Baby, Baby Blue, oh, oh

Leave your steppin' stones behind
Something calls for you
Leave the dead behind
They will not follow you
The vagabond who's rappin' at your door
Is standin' 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
