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
