“If Ever In Doubt” is track 5 on my Somewhere Between Nicaragua & New York EP. I wrote it using a weird guitar tuning at my friend Brian’s apartment. An updated version of this song is also featured on All Is Sideways. I wrote this as a song for others, to encourage them in times of doubt, but have found it solacing myself.


Lyrics

“If Ever In Doubt”
Scott Troyer

If ever in doubt, if ever in pain,
if ever in love you lose your way,

I’ll be your Northern Star
and your constellation that guides you home.

If ever at night or during the day
you feel your heart giving way.

I’ll be your Northern Star
and your constellation that guides you home.

So, don’t fear the night.
Just look to the skies,
find the brightest stars
and think of my eyes
watching you float on.

If ever it seems like I’m not around
just wait ’til you’re alone and then and there I’m found.

I’ll be your Northern Star
and your constellation that guides you home.

So, don’t fear the night.
Just look to the skies,
find the brightest stars
and think of my eyes
watching you float on.
