Lyrics for 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.
