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
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information

(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,

I've come to take you home."

To keepin' 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 going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."

(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 on 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."
