I went to see a band in a club in the 60's. They were called Orange Bicycle. They said this was their new record and they did it live and they were awesome. Jump forward a lot of years when I first meet Richard Thompson (who wrote it), and he says " I heard about this band but never heard it. And you saw them. That is amazing!" So I had to record it myself as it is an all time fav of mine.
Lyrics
Meet On The Ledge
We used to say
That come the day
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 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
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 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
We're gonna meet on
The Ledge
