Killing The Blues Lyrics

Chris Smither Killing The Blues

Oh leaves were falling
They're just like embers
In colors red and gold
They set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams
In our eyes

Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
But I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues

Well I am guilty
Of something
That I hope you never do
Because nothing is sadder
Than loosing yourself in love

Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds
I was just killing the blues
Just killing the blues

Oh when you asked me
Just to leave you
And set out on my own
To find what I needed
You asked me to find
What I already had

Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over white clouds
I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues

Someone said they saw me
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over white clouds
I was killing the blues
Been killing the blues
Just killing the blues
