• The Rumor - Little River Band

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
