Olivia Newton-John, Elton John - The Rumour lyrics

This is the last time
I'll look across this table
And try to face a feeling
I don't even recognize this is a sad hand
That reached across and touched you
When all we'd built around us
Came crashing to the ground

There was a tide turning
Somewhere deep inside us
When all these years together seem
Lost behind my tears
Oh there were good times
But in between the dog days
I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears

But, I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with
The power of my prayers
But, you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of the past

As the rain falls i listen to the radio
And try to memorize the words
To "Georgia On My Mind"
But we're no old song
We never stood the test of time
The lies inside the rumour left
Trust so far behind

But, I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with
The power of my prayers
But, you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of the past

And when we say goodbye
Be sure to look me in the eye
And know the real secret
Was the thing we didn't have to hide

But, I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with
The power of my prayers
But, you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of the past
Once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of
It's just a thing of
The truth is just a thing of the past
