Killing the Blues lyrics
by "T-Bone" Burnett
[Verse 1]
Leaves were falling just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
[Verse 2]
Now I am guilty of something
I hope you never do, because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love
[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
