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
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've come to take you home"
To keep in silence, I resigned
My friends would think I was a slut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though 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 was going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, back home
When illusion spins her net
I'm never where I wanna 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 was going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
I've come to take you home
My heart was going boom, boom, boom
My heart was going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
They've come to take me home
My heart's going boom, boom, boom
