It's All Over Now, Bobby babe


Where are you, Bobby Babe?
In some day country home
Hearing the dust blow by?
We believed in you once
But blowin’ in our wind
Were only the gusts of age.

You grew up, Bobby Babe,
To your Minnesota roots.

I hear pioneers shed tears
Of futility when the
Frontier died.

Are you in, Bobby Babe,
Some desolate place
With nothing to turn off,
In the disconnection
Of your musty image
Hearing the hard rain of time.a

I hear the moon is barren,
All the new astronauts have
Went and died.
You grew elderly, Bobby babe
And along we went with you.
