Flogging Molly

Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home lyrics

rate me

Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school

Where the memories fade like the casualty a forgotten fool

Now wide-eyed has become the blind unspoken rule

Deeper only deep is now the word

the 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 ground

Your selfish face is now erased

when someone mentions you

And the darkness that you left

Has all but stepped aside

With disappearing clouds the sun arrives

Within a mile of home

Within a mile of home

Worry o' my worry has it been that long

The whistle keeps on blowin' but the tune's long gone

His empty frame cannot explain there's nothing left inside

So sing to me a song from yesterday

When 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 ground

Your selfish face is now erased

when someone mentions you

If only you had seen

What I now see

And turned the corner where you would have been

Within a mile of home

Within a mile of home

So sing to me, sing me a song, a song from yesterday

And when the laughter drank these tears before

the promises that now slip away

Don't turn your back on me

Don't turn your back on me

Don't ever let me down

We are within a mile

We are within a mile

within a mile of home...
