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 going boom-boom-boom Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home Eh, don't quit
To keep in 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 Oh, my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I'd walk right out of the machinery My heart going boom-boom-boom Hey, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home Eh, back home
When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty, she'd pirhouette 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
