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
