Lyrics Catholic Architecture - Robert Wyatt

Catholic Architecture

A white house with a folly
A tower attached
On the side a hand painted saint
Lovingly painted
Peeps over a high wall
Which surrounds the white house
His loving gaze is interrupted
By a line of broken glass, cemented
On top of the high wall
The saint lovingly dares
The outsider or the stray cat
To intrude and receive his loving blessing
In lovingly lacerated hands
