Castle on the Hill Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 When I was six years old I broke my leg

2 I was running from my brother and his friends

3 Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down

4 I was younger then, take me back to when I

5 Found my heart and broke it here, made friends and lost them through the years

6 And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know, I’ve grown

7 But I can’t wait to go home

8 I’m on my way, driving at ninety down those country lanes

9 Singing to Tiny Dancer, and I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

10 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

11 Fifteen years old smoking hand rolled cigarettes

12 Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends

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

14 But I was younger then, take me back to when we found

15 Weekend jobs when we got paid we’d buy cheap spirits and drink them straight

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

17 But I can’t wait to go home

18 I’m on my way, driving at ninety down those country lanes

19 Singing to Tiny Dancer, and I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

20 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

21 Over the castle on the hill

22 Over the castle on the hill

23 One friend left to sell clothes

24 One works down by the coast

25 One had two kids but lives alone

26 One’s brother overdosed

27 Ones already on his second wife

28 Ones just barely getting by

29 But these people raised me

30 And I can’t wait to go home

31 And I’m on my way, I still remember these old country lanes

32 When we did not know the answers, and I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

33 We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

34 Over the castle on the hill

35 Over the castle on the hill
