This is a beautiful song written by Roly Salley in the 70s, but this cover takes the song to a whole different level.

[Verse 1]

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

Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

You want me to find what I've already had
[Chorus]
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
