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
