People forget you

And you start to fade

I’m scared of the loneliness

So I’ll keep on playing.

Because I’m scared of the loneliness

The world being quiet

I’ve been working so hard at this

I don’t want to retire.

Nobody wants to talk about the old days

Except those who are getting on in age.

It’s hard looking behind you

While those memories feel like burning flames.

Too many misses and lost chances

Too many people who’ve gone on.

The quietness of the Nightfall

It brings back heartache just like a song

Because I’m scared of the loneliness

The world being quiet.

I’ve been working so hard at this

I don’t want to retire.

There ain’t no words found in silence

Like the ones you wish you’d sang.

There ain’t no reason to retire

While that guitar it calls my name.

When it comes my time to go out

For that final curtain call.

I want to still be found working

Singing me home when Saint Peter calls.

Because I’m scared of the loneliness

The world being quiet.

I’ve been working so hard at this

I don’t want to retire.

People forget you

And you start to fade

I’m scared of the loneliness

So I’ll keep on playing

Until they lay me down one day.
