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 of spoken rule
|
As equal 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
|
Will disappear in 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 of 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, dont't turn your back on me, don't ever let me down
|
Don't turn your back on me, dont'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
|
