Killing the Blues Lyrics

Leaves were falling just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

Now you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find what I've already had

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
