Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city lights
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

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
though my life was in a rut
till I thought of what I'd say

and 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
son, he said, grab your things
I've come to take you 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
so I will show another me

today I don't need a replacement
I'll show 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
