Within A Mile Of Home Lyrics - Within A Mile Of Home - Flogging Molly

Dust falls on the empty halls of my old school 

Where the memories fade like the casualty are 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'll 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 

Ohh, 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'll 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 

Don't turn your back on me 

Don't turn your back on me 

Don't ever let me down 

Ohh 

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 

Ohh 

We are within a mile 

(Within a mile) 

We are within a mile 

(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
