Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city lights
Wind was blowing, time stood still
An 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"
Yeah, back home
ย
Keeping silence I resigned
Friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Thought 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 broke right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey", they said, "Grab your things
I'm gonna take you home"
Oh, right home
ย
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
So 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"
Oh, back home
Oh, back home
