Gabriel Peter 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

 (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."
