Killing The Blues

KILLIN THE BLUES – Rowland Salley

LEAVES WERE FALLING
JUST LIKE EMBERS
IN COLORS RED AND GOLD THEY SET US ON FIRE
BURNING JUST LIKE A MOONNBEAM
IN OUR EYES

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

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

SOMEBODY SAID THEY SAW ME
SWINGING THE WORLD BY THE TAIL
BOUNCING OVER A WHITE CLOUD
KILLING THE BLUES
