Now the moonlight's over Thorncombe
And the sky is dark and clear
So why am I still sitting wasting time?
Why am I still here?

Now the sun in all its glory
Has descended for the night
So why am I still dreaming that we might
Meet up at the usual time?

Now I might come up to Bristol
And we might stay up all night
And we might drink some beers
Talk about those golden years
But I can never find the time

Now I might go up on Thorncombe
If I had the strength to climb
So here am I stargazing at the sky
And wishing I could fly

Now the last time that I saw you
It was Christmas 89
So why am I still thinking that we might
Meet up at the usual time?

When the moon rose over Thorncombe
Well I somehow thought you knew
I had to say goodbye
Don't you know we've all got to try
To meet up at the usual time

Meet up at the usual time
