Solsbury hill<br><br>Climbing up on solsbury hill<br>I could see the city light<br>Wind was blowing, time stood still<br>Eagle flew out of the night<br><br>He was something to observe<br>Came in close, I heard a voice<br>Standing stretching every nerve<br>I had to listen had no choice<br><br>I did not believe the information<br>Just had to trust imagination<br>My heart was going boom boom, boom<br>Son, he said, grab your things, I've come to take you home.<br><br>To keeping silence I resigned<br>My friends would think I was a nut<br>Turning water into wine<br>Open doors would soon be shut<br><br>So I went from day to day<br>Tho' my life was in a rut<br>'till I thought of what I'd say<br>Which connection I should cut<br><br>I was feeling part of the scenery<br>I walked right out of the machinery<br>My heart was going boom boom boom<br>Hey, he said, grab your things, I've come to take you home.<br>Yeah back home<br><br>When illusion spin her net<br>I'm never where I want to be<br>And liberty she pirouette<br>When I think that I am free<br><br>Watched by empty silhouettes<br>Who close their eyes, but still can see<br>No one taught them etiquette<br>I will show another me<br><br>Today I don't need a replacement<br>I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant<br>My heart was going boom boom boom<br>Hey, I said, you can keep my things, they've come to take me home.
