Solsbury Hill Lyrics

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel (彼得·盖布瑞尔)

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

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 ＂

Hi back 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
