Rory Gallagher - Rue The Day lyrics

rate me

You seemed to be like a real good idea,<br />

At the time, at the time.<br />

You lifted me up to some higher ground,<br />

Then you knocked me down on the ground.<br />

But I rue that day like I don't know how.<br />

<br />

You picked me up right out of the tide,<br />

My eyes weren't open wide.<br />

I was blind,<br />

But I see much better, much better now.<br />

<br />

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves,<br />

I walked on a tightrope, didn't lose my nerve.<br />

Stayed on the canvas, couldn't count me out,<br />

Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how.<br />

All fifty rounds.<br />

<br />

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves,<br />

I walked on a tightrope, didn't lose my nerve.<br />

Stayed on the canvas, couldn't count me out.<br />

Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how.<br />

<br />

You lifted me up to some higher ground,<br />

Then you knocked me down on the ground.<br />

You lifted me up right out of the tide,<br />

My eyes weren't open wide.<br />

I was blind,<br />

But I see much better, much better now.<br />

<br />

You seemed to be like a real good idea,<br />

At the time, don't know why.<br />

But I rue that day like I don't know how,<br />

I rue that day as of now.<br />

I rue that day like I don't know how.
