Flogging Molly - Within a Mile of Home lyrics

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 is overstepped aside
With disappearing clouds, the sun arrives
Within 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 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've 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 turned these
Tears before the promises
Then they'll slip away
Don't turn your back on me, don't
Turn your back on me, don't ever let me down
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
We are within a mile, we are within a mile
Within a mile of home
We are within a mile, we are within a mile
Within a mile of home we are within a mile
(within a mile) , we are within
A mile (within a mile)
Within a mile of home

Take me home
