Lyrics

[Verse 1] Leaves were falling just like embers In colors red and gold they set us on fire Burnin' just like a moonbeam in our eyes [Chorus] Somebody said they saw me Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud Killin' the blues [Verse 2] I am guilty of something I hope you never do because there is nothing Sadder than losing yourself in love [Chorus] Somebody said they saw me Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud Killin' the blues [Saxophone Solo] [Chorus] Somebody said they saw me Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud Killin' the blues [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me) Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud) Killin' the blues Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me) Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud) Killin' the blues Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me) Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud) Killin' the blues Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me) Swingin' the world by the tail Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud) Just killin' the blues [Outro] Somebody, somebody, somebody saw me Over, over a cloud Killing the blues
