Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leaves were fallin' just like ember
In colors, red and gold
They set us on fire
Burnin' just like a moonbeam in our eyes
[Verse 2]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killing the blues
[Verse 3]
Now, I am guilty of somethin'
I hope you never do
Because there is nothin'
Sadder than losin' yourself in love
[Verse 4]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killing the blues
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killing the blues
[Verse 7]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killing the blues
