Castle On The Hill lyrics

When I was six years old I broke my leg

I was running from my brother and his friends

And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

I was younger then

Take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here

Made friends and lost them through the years

And I've not seen those roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown

But I can't wait to go home

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

Running from the law through the backfields

And getting drunk with my friends

Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon I did it right

But I was younger then, take me back to when

We found weekend jobs and when we got paid

We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we've grown

But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way

Driving at ninety down those country lanes

Singing to "Tiny Dancer"

And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Castle on the hill

Castle on the hill

I'm on my way, I still remember

This old country lanes

When we did not know the answers

And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill
