Lyrics Killing the Blues - John Prine

Leaves were falling
Just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonnbeam
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
