Rumors
A toasted cinnamon roll with black coffee steaming hot
I miss your kiss and all the little things I have forgot
A scent lingers in the air as I say my morning prayer
I say I love you Jesus are you really there?
These are rumors of the love we had
Some are happy and some are sad
These are rumors laughing without
care
These are rumors whispering do
you dare
Picking raspberries in the old garden by the back fence
I’ve read books of logic but Aristotle makes no sense
The sun hangs high shining in a picture-perfect blue sky
With every answer there are yet more questions why
These are rumors of the love we had
Some are happy and some are sad
These are rumors laughing without
care
These are rumors whispering do
you dare
There are dreams while you sleep and fantasies when wide awake
In the perfect balance you give exactly what you take
I’m well aware life ain’t fair but this is pure blasphemy
Only in carrying your cross will you be free
These are rumors of the love we had
Some are happy and some are sad
These are rumors laughing without
care
These are rumors whispering do
you dare
I can sleep late and shower in the afternoon
I can read books all night and howl at the moon
There are a million things of today and tomorrow
But I often find I go to my memories to borrow
I read Revelation but Armageddon was too scary
This wasn’t the future we had wanted when we married
I put the pictures away except my golden locket
You never call I know my phone’s in my pocket
These are rumors of the love we had
Some are happy and some are sad
These are rumors laughing without
care
These are rumors whispering do
you dare
