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 |
|
Had to listen had no choice |
|
I did not believe the information |
|
[I] 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 keepin' 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 |
|
Tho' my life was in a rut |
|
"Till 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 going boom boom boom |
|
"Hey" he said "Grab your things |
|
I've come to take you home." |
|
When illusion spin her net |
|
I'm never where I want to be |
|
And liberty she pirouette |
|
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." |
