Liner Notes

#stephenking #filk

Nick Andros, thinking about his concerns about Mother Abagail. IYKYK.

This is my 42nd song for 50/90 and my 19th Stephen King song. Again, IYKYK.

Lyrics

(Capo 2)

V1
D/F# G Gsus2
I never have believed in God,
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
I’m not sure what to do
D/F# G Gsus2
She said “It don’t matter, honey -
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
He believes in you.”
G D/F#
Everybody loves her
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
Yes, including me
G D/F#
I don’t know whether she is blind
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
Or has the gift to see

V2
I have my reservations
But I can’t deny her power
The people here believe her more
With every passing hour
But what else is there anyway?
We’ll do the best we can
The people need her guidance
They need a solid plan

CHORUS
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
If there really is a God
D/F# Bm
If he can really see
Em Em7 A Asus2 A
He could send us all a sign
D/F# Bm
He could send it on to me
Em Em7 Bm
She’s old and weak and feeble
G A Asus2 A
She won’t last long at all
G D/F# A Asus2 A
Send her back and send her to us all

V3
I have to give her this much
We all dreamed the same dream
We followed it and now we’re here
But just what does that mean?
She left because she said her pride
Had caused her acts of sin
No one knows just what she meant
Or even where she’s been

CHORUS

V4
And now she’s in the wilderness
The people cannot mourn
We cannot pause our labors now
Or wait for her to warn
We all have our duties
We all have lives to mend
If she does not return to us
This may never, ever end

CHORUS

OUTTRO
D G Gsus2
To us all
D G Gsus2
To us all
D/F#
To us all
