[00:04]If it's true what they say
[00:07]If my love is gone for good
[00:11]They can take this heart away
[00:15]They can take this flesh and blood
[00:19]Take my mouth that kissed her mouth
[00:23]Take my tongue that sung her praise
[00:27]Take my arms that used to reach out
[00:31]In the dark to where she lay
[00:34]If it's true what they say
[00:38]I'll be on my way
[00:46]If it's true what they say
[00:49]If there's nothing to be done
[00:54]If there's no part to be played
[00:57]If there's no song to be sung
[01:02]Take this voice, take these hands
[01:06]I can't use them anyway
[01:10]Take this music and the memory
[01:13]Of the muse from which it came
[01:17]If it's true what they say
[01:21]I'll be on my way
[01:26]We can all be on our way
[01:29]If it's true what they say
[01:34]But the ones who tell the lies
[01:37]Are the solemnest to swear
[01:42]And the ones who load the dice
[01:46]Always say the toss is fair
[01:50]And the ones who deal the cards
[01:52]Deal the cards...
[01:54]Are the ones who take the tricks
[01:58]With their hands over their hearts
[02:02]While we play the games they fix
[02:06]And the ones who speak the words
[02:08]Speak the words...
[02:10]Always say it is the last
[02:14]And no answer will be heard
[02:18]To the question no one asks
[02:23]So I ask you as a brother
[02:27]And I ask you as a friend
[02:31]And I ask you as a lover
[02:35]And I ask you once again,
[02:38]Is it true what they say?
