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 my imagination

My heart was going boom-boom-boom

"Son," he said, "Grab your things

I've come to take you home"

To keep in silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a slut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Though 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 walked right out of the machinery

My heart was going boom-boom-boom

"Hey," he said, "Grab your things

I've come to take you home

Yeah, back home, grab your things"

When illusion spins her net

I'm never where I want to be

And liberty she pirouettes

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, no replacement

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

My heart was going boom-boom-boom

Hey, I said, keep my things

I've come to take me home

Ah, hey I said, keep my things

I've come to take ya home

I've come to take you home

Hey I said, I've come to take you home

Come to take you home

My heart was going boom-boom-boom

My heart was going boom-boom-boom

Hey, I said, you can keep my things

And they've come and take me home

They've come and take me home

My heart's going boom-boom-boom
