Within a Mile of Home |
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… |
