Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home (Live) Lyrics
Dust falls on the empty halls of my old schoolWhere the memories fade like the casualty aforgotten foolNow wide-eyed has become the blindunspoken ruleDeeper only deep is now the wordThe lesson's not the answer you once heard[Chorus]Don't turn your back on meDon't ever let me downShe said I picked you up each timeBefore you hit the groundYour selfish face is now erasedWhen someone mentions youAnd the darkness that you leftHas all but stepped asideWill disappearing in clouds the sun arrivesWithin a mile of home Within a mile of homeWorry o my worry has it been that longThe whistle keeps on blowin but the tuneslong goneHis empty frame cannot explain there'snothing left insideSo sing to me a song from yesterdayWhen laughter filled the tears that wenow make (Chorus)So sing to me, sing me a song, a songfrom yesterdayAnd when the laughter turned drank these tears beforethe promises that now slip awayDon't turn your back on meDont turn your back on meDont ever let me downWe are within a mileWe are within a mileWithin a mile of home
