The Rumour

<br>(Elton John/Bernie Taupin) <br><br>This is the last time <br>I`ll look across this table<br>And try to face a feeling I don`t even recognize<br>This is a sad hand<br>That reached across and touched you<br>When all we`d built around us came crashing to the ground<br><br>There was a tide turning <br>Somewhere deep inside us<br>When all these years together seem lost behind my tears<br>Oh there were good times<br>But in between the dog days<br>I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears<br><br>But I still tried to love you <br>I still tried to care<br>Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers<br>But you can`t fight the rumour<br>You can`t argue with you heart, no<br>Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads<br>Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past<br><br>As the rain falls<br>I listen to the radio<br>And try to memorize the words to &quot;Georgia On My Mind&quot;<br>But we`re no old song<br>We never stood the test of time<br>The lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind<br><br>But I still tried to love you <br>I still tried to care<br>Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers<br>But you can`t fight the rumour<br>You can`t argue with you heart, no<br>Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads<br>Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past<br><br>And when we say goodbye<br>Be sure to look me in the eye<br>And know the real secret <br>Was the thing we didn`t have to hide<br><br>But I still tried to love you <br>I still tried to care<br>Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers<br>But you can`t fight the rumour<br>You can`t argue with you heart, no<br>Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads<br>Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past<br>Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads<br>The truth is just a thing of, it`s just a thing of<br>The truth is just a thing of the past
