You better leave now, take what you need, the past is past Whatever you wanna keep, you better grab it fast Over there's your orphan with her gun Cryin' like a fire in the sun Look out the saints are comin' through Ohh and it's all over now, Baby Blue The highway is for gamblers, better use good sense Take what you have gathered from coincidence The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets The sky of blue is moving over you Ohh it's all over now, Baby Blue All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home Your reindeer navigators, they are going home The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore Strike another match go start anew Ohh because it's all over now, Baby Blue Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you Pities against no mind, they will not follow you Your lover fool has just walked through the door Has taken all his blankets from your floor Your fancy rug is moving under you Ohh and it's all over now, Baby Blue
What a beautiful art song.... a woman leaving her lover - 'Over yonder stands your orphan with your gun' (him, talking about himself) and 'your fancy rug is moving under you' (her). Joni does the song justice with improved concrete images, her vocals and guitar work. I can't stop listening to it....

Love the Joni covers this song ! It has a tropical vibe to it.
Fantastic--if I didn't know better, I'd think she wrote and composed this. What an incomparable style!
You better leave now, take what you need, the past is past
Whatever you wanna keep, you better grab it fast
Over there's your orphan with her gun
Cryin' like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
Ohh and it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use good sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky of blue is moving over you
Ohh it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your reindeer navigators, they are going home
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match go start anew
Ohh because it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Pities against no mind, they will not follow you
Your lover fool has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from your floor
Your fancy rug is moving under you
Ohh and it's all over now, Baby Blue

Joni covers Bobby, & Bobby covers Joni. I think they respect each other equally....

and i thought she hated dylan...
From what I understand, it's over aristic differences (not him per se). : ) In any case, this is a fantastic cover.
