Solsbury Hill lyrics

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"

To keeping 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

Though my life

was in a rut

'Till 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 going

boom boom boom

"hey" he said

"Grab your things

I've come to

take you home"

Yeah back home

When illusion

spin her net

I'm never where

I want to be

And liberty

she pirouette

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"
