Musician’s Fear by Lizzy Hardingham

 

Some fear death will catch them in a moment when they’re looking away

Some fear their lives will be snatched just like a sunrise seizes the day

But I wont be scared when it’s time to go

And I’m sure that I will know

 

There’s not a song in the nib of my pen or a lyric I never did send

Or a song in my heart or a tune that I started again

I’m happy going in the comfort of knowing that I left my best song behind

 

Maybe it’s true that I’m scared of things like taxes and my student debt

But if a bus came and ran me over tomorrow I wouldn’t forget

The words that I wrote on the back of this ticket today

‘Cus I know that they could be better someday

 

Like the song in the nib of my pen or the lyric I never did send

Or the song in my heart that’s the tune that I started again

I’m happy going in the comfort of knowing that I left my best song behind

 

I will take his hand and follow his path

‘Cus I know I wont give a fig if I’ve given my last

Song in the nib of my pen or the lyric I dared to send

Or the song in my heart that’s the tune that I finished again

I’m happy passing leaving one thing worth lasting

I’m happy going in the comfort of knowing that I left my best song behind
