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
