Lyrics Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss

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 am 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
