Streex - Castle On The Hill
When I was six 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 my 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 it's real
We watched the sunset
over the castle on the hill
15 years old 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
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
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 it's real
We watched the sunset
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
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
