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 keeping 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 was going boom boom boom Hey, he said, grab your things, I've come to take you home.
Yeah 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 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.
