"Killing The Blues" lyrics

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Lyrics

"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
