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
Had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
Hey, back home

To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til 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 your things
I've come to take you home."
Hey, back home

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
Who 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 going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

Don't miss this - particularly if your coming from a place where filling in little temporal musical gaps brings joy. #RickBeato just happens to somehow always ask the right question and gives you that street corner you didn't think to look for. Seeing #TonyLevin smile ear to ear listening to #SolsburyHill -which by now he's played live countless times, is contagious

Solsbury Hill - near Bath - many fields nearby are now wildflower meadows - and - almost as far as I can see - there are very few cattle and no sheep. Furthermore there are very few crops growing anywhere. How has this happened? Are these fields owned by a trust (the NT owns the top of Solsbury but not, as far as I know, the surrounding fields). Are these meadows the work of a wealthy, enlightened landowner? #SolsburyHill #nationaltrust #wildflowers #spring #Bath #Somerset
