作词 : Benge, Wyatt | |
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. |
