It's all over now Baby Blue



  第一次聽這首歌時,應該是在一九七七年以後,那時肯定不知唱者是Graham Bonnet,更加不知原作者是Bob Dylan,只知電台播歐西流行曲,唔識音樂歌詞唔緊要,因為總覺得所唱接近人的聲音。
  直至八十年代,港台歌曲跟隨歐美,由再創作至自行作曲填詞,國粵語歌曲才得以流行,瘋魔那時才剛開放的中國大陸。
  某日聽到鄧慧詩播出這首歌,有幸再聽,於是上網找來這首歌重溫,也知一些資料。
  始終那一句,沒有創作自由,沒有偉大作品。
  維基百科(英文)It's All Over Now, Baby Blue詳盡介紹,還研究Baby blue是誰。至於歌詞則在
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue by Bob Dylan。Bob Dylan原唱版在youtube因版權被刪,優酷不知會否滿足一睹Bob年輕時的風采。



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
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
