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

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 feelin' 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 nets

I'm never where I wanna 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 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"

"Son," he said

Whoa

"Son," he said

"Son," he said
