Catherine

I saw Catherine she was living alone
I saw Catherine there were ghosts everywhere
I saw Catherine no-one could reach her
I saw Catherine they had broken her shell

I saw Catherine she was her own victim
I saw Catherine she was empty inside
I saw Catherine no-one could reach her
I saw Catherine she had her mother's eyes

Someone said the world is turning
I can't believe it's true
Surely we'd feel it spin
There must be something very wrong
Yes, there is : look at Catherine

She eats alone by candle-light
Kneeling in her room
It's midnight -- It's midnight -- It's midnight

I saw Catherine I want to be with her
I saw Catherine I want to sit and watch her eat
I saw Catherine no-one can reach her
I saw Catherine a child of twenty-nine
