solsbury hill (live at the bottom line) - peter gabriel lyrics

Loading...

[verse 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

[chorus 1]
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”

[verse 2]
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
’til i thought of what i’d say
which connection i should cut

[chorus 2]
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”
ay, back home

[verse 3]
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

[chorus 3]
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”
