Lyrics Merle - EmiSunshine

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.
