Within A Mile Of Home Lyrics

I walk these streets where my soulless feet

 Haunt the ground where it was I once tread

 On Grafton's Arcade pours the rich commerce rain

 Though the voices I no longer hear speak

 Heaven's to blame so on that I'll abstain

 Best clean the church from my cracked fingernail

 But don't let me die still wondering

 What it was I left behind

 

 From God's golden plate begrudgers they eat

 Till their belly's burst ignorance bliss

 Never they roam a wanderless home

 Is as far as their sorry eye sees

 Give me a rusty ol' goat wekk trampled and soaked

 Until these ashes abd blood mingle deep

 But don't let me die still wondering

 What it was I left behind

 

 Though I've been that face before

 Slammed every open door

 Squandered once scattered beliefs

 So when the waves come crashin' in

 I'll swim as the ocean swims

 Out with the morning tide

 Then back for my tea

 

 So I'll do as I please like the well-tempered breeze

 Blowin' which way I see fit

 I'll grey with the clay seven days till the day

 When they throw me on the potter's scrap heap

 But take my advice; you'll have to bury me twice

 Cause the first time I won't rest easily

 But don't let die still wondering

 What it was I left behind

 

 So don't let die still wondering

 What it was I left behind

 I want a rach well run ahead of the gun

 With a dance before the far finish line

 So no life long regrets, only well feathered steps

 Until these shoes I can longer shine

 But don't let me die still wanderin'

 For the love I left behind
