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 every nerve

My heart going boom, boom, boom

Turning water (4)________ 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
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 (5)________ things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, 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 silhouette
Who close their eyes but (6)__________ 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 (7)__________ on my (8)________ meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've (9)________ to take me home"
