Lyrics Killing the Blues - John Prine

Killing the Blues

Leaves were falling, just 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
Bouncing over a white cloud,
Killing the blues.
Now I’m 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.
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.
