Erasure Solsbury Hill Lyrics

Solsbury Hill Lyrics

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
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
Although 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"

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I wanna 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 "You can keep my things
They've come to
take me home"
