Lyrics

Leaves were falling..Just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam...in our eyes

[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the Blues

I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing.. yourself in love

[Chorus 2x]

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 4x]
