VERSE
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass
CHORUS
Broke it here, made friends
lost them through the years
I've not seen the roaring fields
But I can't wait to go home
CHORUS
And I miss the way you make
When we watched the sunset over
VERSE
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
reckon that I did it right
CHORUS
Take me back to when we found
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up
But I can't wait to go home
CHORUS
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
VERSE
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
CHORUS
And I can't wait to go home
still remember these old country lanes
And I miss the way you make
when we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
How would you rate this song?
