First single from "Love / Leave", released February 21, 2020.
lyrics
IT'S ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE
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
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
The sky, too, is folding under you
It’s all over now, Baby Blue
See how all your sea-sick sailors
now are rowing home
Your empty-handed armies
are all marching 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
