Lyrics:

[Pedal steel guitar intro]

Leaves were fallin, just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burnin just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin the world by the tail
Bouncin over a white cloud
Killin the blues

Now I am guilty of somethin
I hope you never do because there is nothin
Sadder than losin yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin the world by the tail
Bouncin over a white cloud
Killin the blues

[Instrumental verse by T-Bone Burnett on electric guitar]

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
Swingin the world by the tail
Bouncin over a white cloud
Killin the blues

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

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

This is Country Blues in D, with a 2/4 time signature and 75 bpm. The melody is haunting in it's simplicity, and the lyrics tell a story of love at a crossroads.
