Castle on the hill Artist: Ed Sheeran 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 ... 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 Those 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 castle on the hill Background This is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran from his upcoming third studio album “2017.” Sheeran tackles the topic of missing and returning home, something everyone can relate to. It’s a soulful-Sheeran tune, bringing out the Ed that we all know from the first album, a melodic, memorable chorus that references speeding down country lanes, belting out the lyrics to “Tiny Dancer” and growing up. |
