The Band - The Rumor lyrics

Now when the rumor comes to your town It grows, it grows, where it started no one knows Some of your neighbors will invite it right in 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 a fog blows away, let it blow away Open up your arms and feel the good It's a'comin', a brand new day Big men little men turn into dust Maybe it was all in fun, didn't mean to ruin no one Could there be someone among this crowd Who's been accused had his name so misused and his privacy refused Close your eyes, hang your head Until a fog blows away, let it blow away Open up your arms and feel the good It's a'comin', a brand new day Now all you vigilantes want to 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, a'you can regret, but you can never ever forget Close your eyes, hang down your head Until a fog blows away Open up your arms and feel the good It's a'comin', a brand new day
