Leaves were falling
just like embers
In colors red and gold
They set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in your eye

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Jumpin' over a white cloud
Killin' 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
Jumpin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

Then you asked me
Just to leave you
To set out on my own
You want me
To find what I already had

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Jumpin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
