Castle on the Hill Song 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 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 90 down those country lanes

Singing to "Tiny Dancer"

And I miss the way you make

Me feel, and it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill



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 that I did it right

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

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 90 down those country lanes

Singing to "Tiny Dancer"

And I miss the way you make

Me feel, and 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



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,

I still remember these 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

Over the castle on the hill

Over the
