Rory Gallagher - CREST OF A WAVE LYRICS

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

Can't you 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 they feel
With a deck of cards
and you're not around to deal Yeh

They won't be satisfied
till you're out of their sight
But i wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards
and you're not around to deal
you're not around to deal

Well they say it's a lie,
it's 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 who's chaisin' its tail
makes a million circles but you're gonna fail
sometimes 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
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

or do you feel that 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 ,read at all
