Rue the Day

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 oh 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

Oh

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

Oh

All fifty rounds

Wah oh

Da da da lu lu lu lu lu oh

Oh

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

Yeah

You lifted me up to some higher ground

Then you knocked me down oh on the ground

You lifted me up right out of the tide

My eyes weren't open wide

Oh

I was blind

But I see much better much better now

Oh

You seemed to be like a real good idea

At the time oh don't know why

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

Aye

I rue that day as of now

Oh

I rue that day like I don't know how

Ya
