[Verse]
Climbing up o

n Solsbury Hil
l
I could see t
[ ]
he city light
Wind was blow
ing, time stoo
[ ]
d still
Eagle flew ou
[ ]
t of the night
He was someth
[ ]
ing to observe
Came in close
[
, I heard a vo

Standing stre

erve
I had to list
[
en had no choi

ce
I did no
t believe the
[ ]
information
Just had
to trust imag
[ ]
ination
My heart
was going boom
boom, boom
"Son," he sa
id, "Grab
your things, I
've come to ta
[ ]
ke you home."

[Verse]
To keep in si

lence I resign
ed
My friends wo
´
uld think I wa

s a nut
Turning water
[ ]
into wine
Open doors wo

So I went fro
[ ]
m day to day
Tho' my life
[ ]
was in a rut
'Till I thoug
[
ht of what I'd
]
say
Which connect
[
ion I should c

ut
I was fe
eling part of
[ ]
the scenery
I walked
right out of
[ ]
the machinery
My heart
was going boom
boom, boom
"Hey," he sa
id, "Grab
your things, I
've come to ta
[ ]
ke you home."

"Hey," I said
