Solsbury Hill (Originally performed by Peter Gabriel)

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 thingsIve 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
Id sayWhich 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 thingsIve come to take you home'
Yeah, back home
When illusion spin her net
Im never where
I want to be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I think that
I am freeWatched by empty silhouette
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I dont need a replacement
Ill tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom'Hey,'
I said, 'You can keep my thingsTheyve come to take me home'
