[Verse 1]
The leaves were falling just like embers
Colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burnin' just like moonbeams in our eyes

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues

[Verse 2]
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And now you ask me just to leave you
Go out on my own and get what I need
Hell, you want me to find what I've already had
[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
