Peter Gabriel – Solsbury Hill Lyrics  Share

From Peter Gabriel's album: Peter Gabriel 1

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
[ Solsbury Hill lyrics from

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 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."
