Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

 

She let him down

He waited uselessly

Wind in the trees

Where she stood endlessly

Something drew her deeper

 

Agnes

Walking in the August rain

Stainless

Silence in her eyes

Agnes

Nothing that you could explain

Selfless

 

Some turned their heads

And said you waste your life

But she cut her hair

And absorbed she walked the roadsides

Ragged clothes and stale bread

 

Agnes

Walking in the Ponso rain

Bluest

Silence in her eyes

Agnes

Beyond this mortal domain

Fearless

 

Father’s knights tried carrying her off

But something held her down

So they left her barely conscious

On the monastery grounds

She rose scatheless

 

Agnes

Walking in the Ponso rain

Stainless

Silence in her eyes

Agnes

In nomine Filii Dei

Scatheless
