Up on Salisbury Hill, I could see the city light.
[G#m]
Wind was blowing, time stood still.
Eagle flew out of the night.
[B] He was something to observe.
Came in close, I [G#m] heard a voice, [B] standing [G#m] stretching every nerve.
I had to listen, had no [E] choice.
I did not believe the information.
Just had to trust imagination.
[B] My heart [E] going boom, boom, boom.
Son, [F#] he said, grab [B] your things, I'm gonna take you home.
Eagle flew.
To keep in silence, I resigned.
My friends would think I [G#m] was a nut, turning water into wine.
Open doors were [B] soon to be shut.
So I went from day to day.
All my life was in a [F#] rut.
[G#m] Till I thought of what I'd say.
Which connection I should cut.
[E] I was feeling part of the scenery.
I walked right out of the machinery.
[B] My heart going boom, boom, [C#] boom.
Hey, he [C#m] said, grab your things, I'm gonna [B] take you home.
Hey, back home.
[F#] [B]
When illusions met a man,
[G#m] In liberty she flew away.
Then I think that I [B] am free.
Lost my empty silhouette.
Who closed their eyes must [G#m] have conceived.
No one taught them any care.
[F#]
[G#m] I would show [E] another me.
The day I don't need her in this town.
I tell them what the smile on my [C#] face meant.
My heart going boom, boom, boom.
Hey, [C#m] I said, [G#m] to keep my things, I'm gonna take you home.
