[Verse 1]
Leaves were falling just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burnin' just like a moonbeam in our eyes

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

[Verse 2]
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me)
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud)
Killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me)
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud)
Killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me)
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud)
Killin' the blues
Somebody said they saw me (Somebody saw me)
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud (Over, over a cloud)
Just killin' the blues

[Outro]
Somebody, somebody, somebody saw me
Over, over a cloud
Killing the blues
