(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
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

Now when the rumor comes to your town
It grows and grows, where it started no one knows
Some of your neighbors will invite it right in
Or maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin they'll repeat the rumor again
Close your eyes, hang down your head
Until the fog rolls away, let it roll away
Open up your arms and feel the good
'Cause it's comin', a brand new day
Big men, little men turned into dust
Or maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one
Could there be someone, here among this crowd
Who's been abused, had his name so misused and his privacy refused?
Close your eyes, hang your head
Until the fog rolls away, let it roll away
Open up your arms and feel the good
'Cause it's comin', a brand new day
Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move
Or maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't
For whether this rumor proves true or false
You can forgive or you can regret but he will never ever forget
Close your eyes, hang down your head
Until the fog rolls away, let it roll away
Open up your arms and feel the good

Jesus
What's the reason
For these scars that will never heal
Hearts that no longer feel
Eyes that can no longer see
Jesus
What's the reason
For this child that will not survive
With all her dreams inside
Could she mean nothing to thee
And jesus please tell me if you can recall
Just where you were when this sparrow did fall
Jesus
What's the reason
Every tear isn't weighed the same
Could you have died in vain
If we have short memories
And jesus would you then come down from your cross
Return every nail and say we are lost
And in the dark we seek your silent company
For each hope that arrives and fades from memory
Still after all this time our loss you won't concede
For in the dead of night the rumor is
Your hands they still bleed
Still bleed
Still bleed
Still bleed
Jesus
It would seem then
That somehow you still trust
You have more faith than us
Perhaps that is how it should be

It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm.
Big men, little men turned into dust,
Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one.
Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd
Who's been accused, had his name so misused
And his privacy refused ?
Close your eyes, hang your head
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away,
Open up your arms and feel the good,
It's a-comin', a brand new day,
Hmm.. no, no, no.
Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move,
Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't.
For whether this rumor proves true or false,
You can forgive or you can regret,
But he will never ever forget.
Close your eyes, hang down your head,
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away.
Open up your arms and feel the good,
It's a-comin', a brand new day,
Hmm, la la la la la,
Oh oh la la la la la.

It all started out by a word of mouth
Moving fast on a whim
It went all through the suburbs, the north and south
And when it finally got back to him
It was larger than life, it was older than time
It was all that you need
All of a sudden we changed overnight
But the people couldn't see the wood for the trees
Go and tell your mother
Pass it on to a friend
Leave it all to your brother
Start the rumor again
Start the rumor again
Selling more than sliced bread, honey
Bigger than Ben-Hur
What'cha gonna do with all that money?
Send it on back to her
Reap the harvest, sow the seed
That's what the Good Book says
Starve the truth and feed the rumor
And your imagination's gonna do the rest
Go and tell your mother
Pass it on to a friend
Leave it all to your brother
Start the rumor again
Start the rumor again
It was larger than life, it was older than time
It was all that you need
All of a sudden we changed overnight
But the people couldn't see the wood for the trees
Go and tell your mother
Pass it on to a friend
Leave it all to your brother
Start the rumor again
(Start the rumor)
Go and tell your mother
Pass it on to a friend
(You better leave)
Leave it all to your brother
Start the rumor again
(Yeah)
Start the rumor again
(Now)
Start the rumor again
Start the rumor again
(Yeah)
Start the rumor
Start the rumor
Start the rumor

The armoire that you found by the dumpster
while visiting your sister's house
It looks fine in the living room where the others
you've rescued go to die
That old mirror by the bed
without much of anything to reflect
Save for a few holes in a crippled bed post
Shadows that don't move
Cob webs in the corner
A dead spider on the wall
I'm home but I'm not home
Boxes in the basement that were spared
from rising waters
Discarded blood-stained drum skins and sticks
rest on your mother's mattress
I'm home and somehow while I was gone
this house I'd left for dead had lingered on
I'm home with my own family in tow
Everything is the same but different
I'm home again
The devil knows I'm born again

Well, I am the cancer running through your veins
I am the sweat that's dripping down the side of your face
Well, I am the pain in the back of your legs
It makes you fall to your knees, to your knees, it makes you believe
Well, I am the headline that's going to make front page news
I am that fashion you're all into
We had to try something different, we had to try something new
We had to make some heads turn, we had to put this to you
We had to try something different, we had to try something new
We had to make some heads turn, we had to put this to you
I am the rumor on everyone's lips
I am the curse on your girlfriend's hips
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends and sound the alarm
I am that feeling that you've done something wrong
I am that friend who knew all along
We say we have our best friends yet we stab them in their back
We try to show some love and it's a skill that we lack
I've had it with this crowd, I am done with this town
I've had enough of these shows and it's over with you now
We had to try something different, we had to try something new
We had to make some heads turn, we had to put this to you
We had to try something different, we had to try something new
We had to make some heads turn, we had to put this to you
And I am the rumor on everyone's lips
I am the curse on your girlfriend's hips
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends and sound the alarm
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold on, hold
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care
Hold your hands in, into the air

Holding back cause there's nowhere to go
Hearing things that I don't want to know
But the rumour flies high, somehow it seems to get
Back to my heart, and it lies
They say things that I don't understand
And I know they have got the upperhand
But the rumour flies high, somehow it seems to get
Back to my heart, and lies
And oh but I believe
The rumour can turn it all around,
Yaeh the rumour can knock you to the ground,
Oh rumour, well hold on baby and let's not cry
Cause somehow its seems to get back to my heart and lies
Did you hear the rumour
Holding back cause there's nowhere to go
They say whatever he can't see well he'll never know,
But the rumour flies high, somehow it seems to get
Back to my heart, and it lies
Oh but I believe
The rumour can turn it all around,
Yeah the rumour can knock you to the ground,
Oh rumour, well hold on baby and let's not cry
Cause somehow its seems to get back to my heart and lies
It lies, and gets right back to you
And oh but I believe
The rumour, can turn it all around,
Oh the rumour, can knock you to the ground,
Oh rumour, well hold on baby and let's not cry
Cause somehow its seems to get back to my heart and lies
Did you hear the rumour
Yes it lies
Did you hear the rumour
Yes you lied

Another crossroad I have come upon today
I’ll choose my own path
I’ll choose my own path
You thought me ignorant I swam in your disdain
I was your lab rat
But I won’t take that
Hold your breath and close your eyes
As you’re walking down the line
Innocence will pull us through
And I will be just fine
Make up your mind
Decide to walk against the wind
Divine design
We get to live again
We live again
Those cryptic messages that come from long ago
Are inconsistent
They’re inconsistent
Against all that we are and everything we know
You will not get it
You just don’t get it
Hold your breath and close your eyes
As you’re walking down the line
Innocence will pull us through
And I will be just fine
Make up your mind
Decide to walk against the wind
Divine design
We get to live again
We live again
Come back
I wish I didn’t do all the things that I
Do bad
Ripping the inner sanctity of me
Contact
Will restore the peace that we all seek
In me
Hold your breath and close your eyes
As you’re walking down the line
Innocence will pull us through
And I will be just fine
Make up your mind
Decide to walk against the wind
Divine design
We get to live again
We live again
Through tomorrow
We get to walk against the wind
You are the pain that made me feel close to
You are the pain that made me feel close to life
You are the pain that made me feel close to
You are the pain that made me feel close to life
You are the pain that made me feel close to
You are the pain that made me feel close to
