Here's the words from a Richard Thompson web site - it has lyrics to all the Fairport songs he wrote or co-wrote here:
Henry the Human Fly Caught in the WebMEET ON THE LEDGE (by Richard Thompson)
We used to say "There'd come the day we'd all be making songs
Or finding better words" These ideas never lasted longThe way is up along the road, the air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried, blown off this mountain with the windMeet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around againYet 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 going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around againMeet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again
