Castle On The Hill – Ed Sheeran

When I was 6 years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass
As 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

Is so long
I know
I’ve grown
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, smoking, handrolled, 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
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
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

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
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
