A Rumour of You Songtext
von Gary Kemp

I′ve been drawn to a rumor of you
Heard you were back in the city
I took a train under skies white and blue
Left behind my self-pity (Self-pity)

Someone told me that you changed your ways
Talking for days about how sorry you are
Someone gave me a café address
Said they'd seen you there from afar
I′ve been drawn to a rumor of you
I don't know who you are

I've been lost and the chances all gone
Things sometimes break in the making (Break in the making)
I can′t recall how this whole thing went wrong
Or if my memory′s just waking


Someone breathed a little hope in my ear
She felt clear the door was slightly ajar (Slightly ajar)
And I remembered that cold winter night
When I waited outside in my car
I've been drawn to a rumor of you
But I don′t know who you are

Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
It's an uncertain truth, a tale of deception
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention

I′ve been drawn to a rumor of you
But all the facts are elusive (Facts are elusive)
My head is full but I haven't a clue
That this might be abusive

Someone told me that you looked so well
I could tell your beauty still raised the bar (Still raised the bar)
But I can′t see you for the rage in my mind
It's like a cloud blown over a star
I've been drawn to a rumor of you
But I don′t know who you are


Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
You′re a headline in news that they should mention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention

I've been drawn to a rumor of you
To pull the truth from the rubble
Sometimes I′m sure I can see this thing through
But my heart's steeped in trouble

Someone breathed a little hope in my ear
But I fear it′s only scratching the scar (Scratching the scar)
Oh, I can't stand the way it wakes me at night
And then plays me like a battered guitar
I′ve been drawn to a rumor of you
But I don't know who you are

Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
It's an uncertain truth, a tale of deception
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention

Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Oh, desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
Desire is a hitchhiker that stole my attention
