Solsbury Hill |
| Climbing up on Solsbury Hill |
| I could see the city lights |
| 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 |
| Had to listen had no choice |
| I did not believe the information |
| I 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 keepin' 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 |
| Tho' 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." |
| 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." |
