Lyrics
Leaves were fallin' down 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
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
Now I'm guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losin' yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
For then you ask me just to leave you
To run 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
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
Yeah, somebody said they saw me
I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
