Lyrics Within a Mile of Home (Live) - Flogging Molly

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

Oh worry, oh my worry, has it been that long?
The whistle keeps on blowing but the tunes long gone
His empty frame cannot explain there's nothing left inside
So sing to me a songs from yesterday
When laughter drank 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 little song from yesterday
Ah, sing to me, sing me a song
A song from yesterday
When the laughter drank the tears of all the promises
That now slip away, Los Ageles

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, we are within a mile
Within a mile of home, yeah

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)
Sing me home
