Shawn Colvin - Killing the Blues Lyrics

Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

[Chorus]

And then you've ask me...just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had .

[Chorus x2]
