Castle on the Hill (Apple Music Live) Lyrics By Ed Sheeran
Thank you so much
Thank you for coming to this gig, by the way
This is a– it's a really special show for me
This is the first time that I've played this album in full
But the band that I've got playing with me
You know, they're players that I've gone to watch in bands since I was young
And I'm really, really honoured to be doing this show with them for you guys
It's playing the entire album in full for the first time
Which is why we've asked you to put your phones in those cases
But I find, I've been to gigs where you put the phones in the cases
And I always enjoy myself more, 'cause you're in the moment
So, thank you for going along with it
Apple, Apple Music are filming this
So there will be a super HD quality version at some point
That you can go and see yourselves on
We'll get back to the, uh, the hits
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 I rolled down
We were 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
And I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those
Country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel
And it's real
When 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 we were younger then
Mmm, take me back to when
We found our weekend jobs
And 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
And I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those
Country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
Oh, over the castle on the hill
Oh, over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
And 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
These people, they 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
And it's real
When we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
Oh, over the castle on the hill
Oh, over the castle on the hill
