Vanilla Sky movie - Solsbury Hill lyrics

rate me

Song by Peter Gabriel<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>

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>

I did not believe the information<br>

Just had to trust imagination<br>

My heart going boom-boom-boom<br>

Son, he said, grab your things<br>

I've come to take you home<br>

Eh, don't quit<br>

<br>

To keep in 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>

So I went from day to day<br>

Oh, my life was in a rut<br>

'Til I thought of what I'd say<br>

Which connection I should cut<br>

I was feeling part of the scenery<br>

I'd walk right out of the machinery<br>

My heart going boom-boom-boom<br>

Hey, he said, grab your things<br>

I've come to take you home<br>

Eh, back home<br>

<br>

When illusion spin her net<br>

I'm never where I want to be<br>

And liberty, she'd pirhouette<br>

When I think that I am free<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>

Today I don't need a replacement<br>

I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant<br>

My heart going boom-boom-boom<br>

Hey, I said, you can keep my things<br>

They've come to take me home<br>

<br>
