Flogging Molly - Donit let me die lyrics

I walk these streets where my soleless 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 Until their bellies burst, ignorance bliss Never they roam, a wanderless home Is as far as their sorry eye sees Give me a rusty old coat, well-trampled and soaked Until these ashes and 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 crashing in, I'll swim as the ocean swims Out with the morning tide and back for my tea So I'll do as I please like the well-tempered breeze Blowing which way I see fit I'll gray 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 me die still wondering What it was I left behind So don't let me die still wondering What it was I left behind I want a race well-run, ahead of the gun With a dance before the far finish line So now life-long regrets, only well-feathered steps Until these shoes I can no longer shine But don't let me die still wandering For the love I left behind
