Solsbury Hill

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

I could see the city light

Wind was blowing, time stood still

Eagle flew out of the night

He was something to observe

Came in close I heard a voice

Standing stretching every nerve

I had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information

Just had to trust imagination

My heart going boom-boom-boom

Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home

Eh, don't quit

To keep in silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Oh, my life was in a rut

'Til I thought of what I'd say

Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery

I'd walk right out of the machinery

My heart going boom-boom-boom

Hey, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home

Eh, back home

When illusion spin her net

I'm never where I want to be

And liberty, she'd pirhouette

When I think that I am free

Watched by empty silhouettes

Who close their eyes but still can see

No one taught them etiquette

I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement

I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant

My heart going boom-boom-boom

Hey, I said, you can keep my things They've come to take me home
