Rue The Day Lyrics - Calling Card - 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
