Lou Reed – 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 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 keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a slut 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 And 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 Take back home, grab your things 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 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, keep my things I've come to take me home Hey, I said, keep my things I've come to take you home I've come to take you home Hey, I said, I've come to take you home Come to take you home My heart was going boom, boom, boom My heart was going boom, boom, boom Hey, I said, you can keep my things and come to take me home They've come to take me home My heart is going boom, boom, boom Explain Request ×
