Killing the Blues lyrics
by John Prine
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
