Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
Em D EmI could see the city lights
Em D EmWind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
G D GHe was something to observe
Em D EmCame in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the
information
D Cmaj7[I] just had to trust imagination
D Cmaj7My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you
home."
Instrumental: Section A (1X), then Section B (1X)
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
Tho' my life was in a rut
'Til 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."
Instrumental: Section A (1X), then Section B (1X)
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."
