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
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back 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 lifе was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenеry
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"
Hey, 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
"You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
