Meet On The Ledge - originally by Fairport Convention

We used to say
That come the day
When we'd all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long

The way is up
Along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Were blown off this mountain with the wind

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When your time is up you're gonna meet all your friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes round again

So here I sit
I'm all alone
But that's the only way to be
You'll have your chance again
Then you can do the work for me
