Rumours Of Glory Lyrics - Rumours Of Glory - Bruce Cockburn

Above the dark town 

After the sun's gone down 

Two vapour trails cross the sky 

Catching the day's last slow goodbye 

Black skyline looks rich as velvet 

Something is shining 

Like gold but better 

Rumours of glory 

Smiles mixed with curses 

The crowd disperses 

About whom no details are known 

Each one alone yet not alone 

Behind the painfear 

Etched on the faces 

Something is shining 

Like gold but better 

Rumours of glory 

Rumours of glory, alright

You see the extremes 

Of what humans can be? 

And in that distance some tension's born 

Energy surging like a storm 

You plunge your hand in 

And draw it back scorched 

Beneath it's shining like 

Gold but better 

Rumours of glory 

Rumours of glory, glory, glory, glory 

Rumours of glory, oh huh huh
