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 (1)__________________ to observe
Came in close, I (2)__________ a voice
Standing, (3)____________________ (4)__________ nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not (5)______________ the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've (6)________ to (7)________ you home"

So I went from day to day
Though my (11)________ 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 (12)________ things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, back home

When (13)________________ spin her net
I'm never where I (14)________ to be

When I (15)__________ (16)________ I am free

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the (20)__________ on my face meant
My (21)__________ going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
