(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
