Lyrics

[00:28.35] Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
[00:32.06] I could see the city light
[00:36.79] Wind was blowing, time stood still
[00:40.30] Eagle flew out of the night
[00:44.74] He was something to observe
[00:48.13] Came in close, I heard a voice
[00:52.44] Standing stretching every nerve
[00:56.51] Had to listen had no choice
[00:59.68] I did not believe the information
[01:02.97] (I) just had to trust imagination
[01:07.21] My heart going boom boom boom
[01:10.71] "Son," he said "Grab your things,
[01:14.25] I've come to take you home."
[01:16.68]
[01:25.94] To keepin' silence I resigned
[01:29.87] My friends would think I was a nut
[01:33.49] Turning water into wine
[01:37.90] Open doors would soon be shut
[01:41.91] So I went from day to day
[01:46.06] Tho' my life was in a rut
[01:50.16] "Till I thought of what I'd say
[01:54.23] Which connection I should cut
[01:57.69] I was feeling part of the scenery
[02:01.00] I walked right out of the machinery
[02:04.66] My heart going boom boom boom
[02:08.26] "Hey" he said "Grab your things
[02:11.65] I've come to take you home."
[02:16.70] (Back home.)
[02:18.41]
[02:31.82] When illusion spin her net
[02:35.61] I'm never where I want to be
[02:39.69] And liberty she pirouette
[02:43.48] When I think that I am free
[02:47.67] Watched by empty silhouettes
[02:52.00] Who close their eyes but still can see
[02:55.96] No on taught them etiquette
[03:00.13] I will show another me
[03:03.35] Today I don't need a replacement
[03:06.76] I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
[03:10.80] My heart going boom boom boom
[03:14.04] "Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
[03:17.77] they've come to take me home."
[03:20.13]
