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 the roaring fields in so long
 Oh, no, I've grown, and 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
 ♪
 15 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
 And I don't reckon that I did it right
 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
 And 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
 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 make me feel, it's real
 And we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
 Over the castle on the hill
 Over the castle on the hill
