Gabriel Peter Solsbury Hill lyrics

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.`
(Back 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 on 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.`
