The Rumour
This is the last timeI'll look across this tableAnd try to face a feeling I don't even recognizeThis is a sad handThat reached across and touched youWhen all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground
There was a tide turningSomewhere deep inside usWhen all these years together seem lost behind my tearsOh, there were good timesBut in between the dog daysI felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears
Chorus:But I still tried to love youI still tried to careStill tried to hold on with the power of my prayersBut you can't fight the rumourYou can't argue with you heart, noOnce the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreadsOnce the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past
As the rain fallsI listen to the radioAnd try to memorize the words to "Georgia On My Mind"But we're no old song, we never stood the test of timeThe lies inside the rumour left us far behind
Chorus
And when we say goodbyeBe sure to look me in the eyeAnd know the real secretWas the thing we didn't have to hide
Chorus
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreadsThe truth is just a thing of, it's just a thing ofThe truth is just a thing of the past
