CREST OF A WAVE

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 

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
