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
