All Over Now

The trees have dropped their leaves on the silent roads
The boys put down their arrows and the bows and the
Clouds have moved aside for the sun to dim its glow

You should go
But its fine now
They all know
its over now
and now the west winds are so slow they hardly blow
And the chill outsides too cold even for snow
The houses packed up the streets left long ago
From here to vience beach, milan, & the congo
take a while to stand outside there'll be no rain
I don't know if I can start all this again
Will the world return to me intime the same
From here to italy, norway & spain cos its

They all know
These lyrics paint a picture of an apocalyptic scenario where nature itself is winding down and leaving. The first verse describes how the birds have stopped singing, the trees have dropped their leaves, the clouds have moved aside, and even the boys have put down their arrows and bows. This shows that everything in nature has stopped, almost as if it knows that it is time for everything to end. The second verse continues this theme, describing how the rivers and oceans have dried up, the stars have gone out, and the mountains are closing. The final line of the second verse describes how every corner of the earth, from Africa to Bombay, is being packed up, portraying a sense of finality and closure.
The chorus then repeats the phrase "it's over now" throughout, giving the listener a sense of the finality and seriousness of the situation. The final verse describes how the west winds and the chill outside are almost dormant and that the world has become a very quiet place, both literally and metaphorically. The streets are empty, and the houses are packed up, which gives the sense that everything has come to an end. The final lines repeat the same sense of finality as the chorus - "final, you should go, but it's fine now, they all know" - indicating acceptance that something monumental has happened and that there is no turning back.

All over now, all over now, all over now
The birds have stopped their song, now it's time to go
The trees have dropped their leaves onto silent roads
The boys put down their arrows and the bows
The clouds have moved aside for the sun to dim its glow
The rivers dried up the oceans with the sea
The stars put out their lights and closed the galaxy
They shut the mountains & the valleys on the way
They packed up Africa, Brazil, Bombay, 'cos its
But after all the change
I felt that I would have a breather [?]
So blind I felt my way
But I was broken down
And it's all over now
All over now
All over now
And now the west winds are so slow they hardly blow
The chill outside's too cold for even snow
The houses packed up the streets left long ago
From here to venice beach, milan & the congo
I take a while to stand outside there'll be no rain
And I don't know if I can have this all again
So will the world return to me the same
From here to italy, norway & spain 'cos its
But after all the change
I felt that I would have a breather [?]
So blind I felt my way
But I was broken down
And it's all over now
All over now
All over now
[Godly flute solo]
All over ...
All over now ...
It's all over ...
