Castle On The Hill
Nicole Cross Lyrics

When I was six years old I broke my leg
At the age of six, I experienced my first injury by breaking my leg.

I was running from my brother and his friends
The incident occurred while I was playing and running away from my brother and his friends.

And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
While rolling down the mountain grass, I experienced its sweet fragrance.

I was younger then, take me back to when I Found my heart and broke it here
At that time, I was naive and inexperienced, and today I want to go back to the same time where I learned about love and heartbreak.

Made friends and lost them through the years
Over the years, I have come across many people, made friends, and lost them.

And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
It has been a while since I last saw the countryside fields. This indicates that I have grown and changed.

But I can't wait to go home
Despite my growth and changes, I still long for my home and the memories associated with it.

I'm on my way Driving at ninety down those country lanes Singing to 'Tiny Dancer'
While driving through the countryside at high speed, I am singing along to the song 'Tiny Dancer'.

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
I am missing the feelings that have been associated with being home, and they are genuine emotions.

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
During my time at home, I have enjoyed watching the sunset over the castle located on the hill.

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
At the age of 15, I began smoking hand-rolled cigarettes, an activity that was illegal for me.

Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
I and my friends would often engage in risky behaviors like running from the law while drinking alcohol in the backfields.

Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
On a Friday night, I had my first kiss, and in hindsight, I don't think I did it right.

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
When we found weekend jobs, we would buy cheap alcohol and consume them in a way that was not ideal for our health.

Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown But I can't wait to go home
It has been a while since any of us have been that reckless. Although we've grown, we still eagerly await the opportunity to return 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
Some of my friends have experienced significant changes, such as becoming a single parent or coping with the loss of family members. Despite it all, they raised me, and I still long to go home to my friends and family.

And I'm on my way, I still remember This old country lanes When we did not know the answers
As I am on my journey, I recall the memories associated with the old country lanes, where I was still figuring out life and had more questions than 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
Even though I am currently on the move, I am still missing the memories associated with being at home, where we would watch the sunset over the castle on the hill.
