Intro

Verse 1

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

Maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin

 They'll repeat the rumor again

Chorus

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 hmm

Verse

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?

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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
