Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home Lyrics
Dust falls on the empty halls of my old schoolWhere the memories fade like the casualty, a forgotten foolNow wide-eyed has become the blind of spoken ruleAs equal only deep is now the wordThe lesson's not the answer you once heard"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the groundYour selfish face is now erased when someone mentions youAnd the darkness that you left is overstepped asideWill disappear in clouds, the sun arrivesWithin a mile of home, within a mile of home"Oh worry, oh my worry has it been that long?The whistle keeps on blowing but the chills all goneHis empty frame cannot explain, there's nothing left insideSo sing to me a song from yesterdayWhen laughter filled the tears that we now make"Don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down"She said, "I picked you up each time before you hit the groundYour selfish face is now erased when someone mentions youIf only you had seen what I now seeAnd turned the corner where you would of beenWithin a mile of home, within a mile of home"So sing to me, sing me a song, a song from yesterdayawayDon't turn your back on me, don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me downDon't turn your back on me, don't turn your back on me, don't ever let me downWe are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of homeWe are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of homeWe are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of homeWe are within a mile, we are within a mile, within a mile of home
