[Verse 1]
Oh, leaves were falling
They're just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes
[Chorus]
Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
That I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues
[Verse 2]
Well, I am guilty of something
That I hope you never do
'Cause nothing is sadder
Than losing yourself in love
[Chorus]
Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
Just killing the blues
Just killing the blues
[Verse 3]
Oh, when you asked me
Just to leave you
And set out on my own to find what I needed
You asked me to find what I already had
[Chorus]
Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues
Someone said they saw me
They said I swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
I was killing the blues
Been killing the blues
Just killing the blues
