Chris Smither - Killin' The Blues Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Killin' The Blues"
(originally by Woodstock Mountains Revue)

Well, leaves were fallin' just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burnin' just like moonbeams in our eyes

Somebody said they saw me
I was swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over the white cloud
I was killin' the blues
Just killin' the blues

Well, I am guilty of something
That I hope you never do 'cause nothing is sadder
Than losin' yourself in love

Somebody said they saw me
And I was swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues
Just killin' the blues

Well, 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

Somebody said they saw me
Well, I was swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues
I was killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me
And I was swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
I was killin' the blues
Just killin' the blues
I was killin' the blues
