Richard Thompson
Meet on the Ledge (Live, 1982)
[Intro]
Well, this is really special
I've never done this song ever
And I swore I’d never do it again
But I'll do it
'Cause you’re such a fab audience
Fab gear
I'd say I've never done it
This is a real treat for me
[Verse 1]
We used to say
There'd come the day
We'd all be makin' songs
Or findin' better words
These ideas never lasted long
[Verse 2]
Oh, the way is up
Along the road
Thе air is growin' thin
Too many friends of mine
Swept off this mountain with thе wind
[Chorus]
Meet on the ledge
Gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I’m gonna see all of my friends
Meet on the ledge
We’re gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
[Verse 3]
And now I see
That 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
[Chorus]
Oh, meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I'm gonna see all of my friends
Oh, meet on the ledge
We’re gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
Oh, meet on the ledge
Gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I'm gonna see all of my friends
Oh, meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
[Outro]
Thanks very much
Thanks for coming
Thanks so much indeed
Thank you
Good night
