Castle on the Hill

When I was 6 years old, I broke my leg

I was runnin' 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 the roaring fields in so long, I know I'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 made

Me feel, it's real

When we watched the sunset

Over the castle on the hill

15 years old and smoking

Hand-rolled cigarettes

Runnin' from the law through the backfields and

Gettin' drunk with my friends

Had my first kiss on a Friday night

I don't reckon I did it right, but

But I was younger then

Take me back to when we found

Weekend jobs, when we got paid

We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

And me and my friends have not thrown up

In so long, oh, how we've grown and, and 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 made

Me feel, it's real

When we watched the sunset

Over the castle on the hill

Hoo-hoo, hoo

Over the castle on the hill

Hoo-ooh, hoo, ooh

Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes

One works down by the coast

One had two kids, but lives alone

One's brother overdosed

One's already on his second wife

One's just barely getting by, but

These people raised me and I

Can't wait to go home

And I'm on my way

And I still remember these old

Country lanes

When we did not know the answers

And I miss the way you made

Me feel, it's real

When we watched the sunset

Over the castle on the hill

Hoo-ooh, hoo, ooh

Over the castle on the hill

Hoo-ooh, hoo, ooh

Over the castle on the hill
