Crest Of A Wave Lyrics - Deuce - Rory Gallagher

Well, you can ride on the crest of a wave 

If that's where you want to be 

But does the look on your face 

Mean you're really feeling happy? 

Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg 

Or a poor man much too proud to beg 

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all? 

You gotta see by the way 

That they are talking 

That it's time for you 

To pick up your grip start walking 

'Cause they want to see your long legs flying 

Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and 

Don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all 

They won't be satisfied 

Till you're out of their sight 

But I wonder how will you feel 

With a deck of cards 

You're not around to deal 

You're not around to deal 

They won't be satisfied 

Till you're out of their sight 

But I wonder how will you feel 

With a deck of cards 

You're not around to deal? 

You're not around to deal 

Well, they say it's a lie, a joke 

That you are living 

But you know one thing they don't 

You won't give in 

'Cause you're like a cat, chasin' its tail 

Makes a million circles but you're gonna fail 

Look down you just don't understand 

Well, you can ride on the crest of a wave 

If that's where you want to be 

But does the look on your face 

Mean you're really feeling happy? 

Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg 

A poor man much too proud to beg 

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all? 

Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg 

Or a poor man much too proud to beg 

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
