Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

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 (1)__________ nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not (2)______________ the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've come to (3)________ you home"

To keep in silence, I resigned
My friends (4)__________ think I was a nut
Turning (5)__________ (6)________ wine
Open (7)__________ (8)__________ (9)________ be shut
So I (10)________ from day to day
Though my (11)________ was in a rut
Till I thought of (12)________ I'd say
Which connection I (13)____________ cut
I was feeling (14)________ of the scenery
I (15)____________ (16)__________ out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, back home

When (17)________________ spin her net
I'm never where I (18)________ to be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I (19)__________ that I am free
Watched by (20)__________ silhouette
Who close (21)__________ eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show (22)______________ me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My (23)__________ going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to (24)________ me home"
