Rue The Day - Rory Gallagher

You seemed to be like a real good idea

At the time, at the time

You lifted me up to some higher ground

Then you knocked me down on the ground

But I rue that day like I don’t know how

You picked me up right out of the tide

My eyes weren’t open wide

I was blind

But I see much better, much better now

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves

I walked on a tightrope, didn’t lose my nerve

Stayed on the canvas, couldn’t count me out

Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how

All fifty rounds

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves

I walked on a tightrope, didn’t lose my nerve

Stayed on the canvas, couldn’t count me out

Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how

You lifted me up to some higher ground

Then you knocked me down on the ground

You lifted me up right out of the tide

My eyes weren’t open wide

I was blind

But I see much better, much better now

You seemed to be like a real good idea

At the time, don’t know why

But I rue that day like I don’t know how

I rue that day as of now

I rue that day like I don’t know how
