This is the last time I look around the 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 crushing 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 your heart
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 to 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 us far behind.
But still tried to love you
I still tried to care
...
And when we say good-by
be sure and look me in the eye
And know the real secret was the thing we didn`t have to hide.
I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
...
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.
