From the recording On This Ride
On This Ride - Track Eight: A great song…we just had to record it too. It has no rhymes.
KILLING THE BLUES
Rowland Salley, Telechrome Music
Lyrics
The leaves were falling, just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds, I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues
Now I am guilty, of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing that’s
Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me swinging
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds, I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues
Instrumental
And now you ask me, just to leave you
To set 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
They said I was swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over the white clouds, I was killing the blues
Just killing the blues
I was killing the blues
