Climbing up on Solsbury Hill

I could see the city lights

Wind was blowing, time stood still
G D G
Eagle flew out of the night
G D G
He was something to observe
Em D Em
Came in close, I heard a voice
Em D Em
Standing stretching every nerve

Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the
information

{I} just had to trust imagination
D Cmaj7
My 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.'
