Killing the Blues Lyrics by Roly Salley; performed by Shawn Colvin on her album "Cover Girl"
Leaves are falling
just like angels
in colors red and gold
they set us on fire
burning just like moonbeams
in our eyes.
Somebody said
they saw me
swinging the world by the tail
bouncing over a white cloud
killing the blues.
Now I am guilty
of something
I hope you never do
cause there is nothing
any 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.
Then you ask me
would I still leave you
to set out on my own
again
What I needed
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
I was swinging the world by the tail
bouncing over a white cloud
killing the blues.
