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
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
Grab your things, I've come to take you home.
Eh, don't quit
To keeping silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
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
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
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 going boom boom boom
Hey, I said
Bm7 A/C# D E A (riff)
You can keep my things, they've come to take me home
