There's a recurring skit With Buck Henry Gilda and Lorain Newman Where buck plays a baby sitting pedophile...most outrageously funny thing I think I have ever seen, but Internet here is pure on again off again crap right now and I can't find it.
Foley did a a bit with the late Patrick Swayze. they were both shirtless and playing
male strippers. I swear Foley almost throws his gut over his shoulder!!
Very funny!!
Only empty arms ever reaching can find love...
[Verse 1]
I hear the soft wind sighing
In every bush and tree
The sound of my heart crying
When you are far from me
[Chorus]
When we're apart, my darling
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darling
Sweet sorrow in the wind
[Verse 2]
You leave me in the morning
Your footsteps die away
Thou not a leaf is stirring
I hear the wind all day
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
They say when love grows older
It dies and fades away
Yet all our life together
One ever brightening day
[Verse 1]
I hear the soft wind sighing
In every bush and tree
The sound of my heart crying
When you are far from me
[Chorus]
When we're apart, my darling
There's sorrow in the wind
When we're apart, my darling
Sweet sorrow in the wind
[Verse 2]
You leave me in the morning
Your footsteps die away
Thou not a leaf is stirring
I hear the wind all day
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
They say when love grows older
It dies and fades away
Yet all our life together
One ever brightening day
When the spirit awakes, it seeks union.
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
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"
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'll 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"

It is a great tune. I don't know where I heard it first, yet I bet my GF played it for me.
A song that will last forever. Thank you Mr Gaye AND Berry Gordy!
Definitely an interesting song. What's sorta funny is that there is a City Named Salisbury in Southwest England.
And a Salisbury Hill that's near Bath, England. "Solsbury Hill" is such a popular song that there are far more "Solsbury" references than references to "Salisbury" on-line.
I've been to Salisbury and seen Salisbury Cathedral. Seen Bath, but not the Salisbury Hill. Used to meet my high school sweetheart in Salisbury. Good time in my life.
Almost forgot these folks. Thank you for reminding me!
