Don't Let Me Die Still Wondering Lyrics - Flogging Molly

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 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 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 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 no life long regrets, only well feathered steps 

Until these shoes I can no longer shine 

But don't let me die still wonderin' 

For the love I left behind
