Leaves were falling, just like embers In colours 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 Anything 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 set out on my own and get 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 Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues
