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

But 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

Castle on the hill

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

Castle on the hill

Castle on the hill
