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, 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
