(originally by Fairport Convention)
We used to say that come the day,
We'd all be making songs,
Or writing better words,
These ideas never lasted,
The way is up along the road,
The air is growing thin,
Too many friends who tried,
Blown off this mountain in the wind.
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
When my time is up, I'm gonna see all my friends,
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
Yet now I see, I'm all alone,
But that's the only way to be,
'Cause you'll have your chance again,
Then you can do the work for me.
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
When my time is up, I'm gonna see, see all my friends,
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
When my time is up, I'm gonna see all, see all my friends,
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
If you really mean it, it all comes, all comes round again,
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
When my time is up, I'm gonna see all, see all my friends,
Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge,
If you really mean it, it all comes round again.
