Rumours of War

We met on the beach amid rumours of war Your head in your hand, what you saw you won't say As the newspapers blew in the wind I can see you're one of that kind Who carry round a time bomb in their mind, no one knows When you'll slip the pin Rumours of war Rumours of war I see that your dress is torn at the edge You were lost, intense, like a man on a ledge, waiting to jump As the waves break over the shore You say there's a storm that can't be delayed And lately it seems to be comin' this way, you can hear it break Like the slam of a door Rumours of war Rumours of war You tell me, just look all around At the past and the present, the cross and the crescent, The signs and the planets are lining up like before There are souls on fire in the day and the night On the left and the right, in the black and the white You can see it burn in the eyes of the rich and the poor Rumours of war Rumours of war Rumours of war Rumours of war
