Erasure - Solsbury Hill lyrics

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 was going boom boom boom

"Son, " he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"

To keeping 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 I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart was 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 was going boom boom boom

"Hey, " I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"

"Son, " he said whoaa whooa "Son, " he said
"Son, " he said whooa ooh "Son, "
Ooh, yeah "Son, " he said
