I heard a rumour They travel far You know what it´s like
The way people are They talk and they talk Though they don´t understand They´ll whisper and whisper And lie on demand Please tell me now I want to know I have to hear it from your lips Say it´s not so
I heard it on Monday And I laughed a while I heard it on Tuesday I managed to smile I heard it on Wednesday My patience was tried I heard it on Thursday And I hurt inside
I want to know The depths of your mind Tell me this whole thing is madness And we´re doing fine Put your little hand in mine And believe in love Put your head on my chest And breathe love Breathe love Breathe love Breathe love
I heard it from Peter Who heard it from Paul Who heard it from someone I don´t know at all I heard it from Mary Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible She´s telling the truth I heard it from Simon Who heard it from James Confirming with Sarah That I was to blame I heard it from Joseph Who heard it from John Who said with conviction That all hope was gone So I need to know Your alibis I need to hear that you love me Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye
