Lyrics:


Cathy's lines indicated by "Cathy:"

Whatever it is I do, I try to think about you
I have a love for you that nothing hides
Whatever it is I do, I'm always thinking of you
I hope you look at me through patient eyes

I've become amused, I've become blind
I've become what I know not breathes
You seem illiterate to all my emotions
I stand corrected, how well you read

You speak the truth, you speak to me
You feel the love I have yet to find
I know it's there, I know it's there
But I let the sandcastles kill my mind

Pathetic me, I long to be you
They think I'm close but I stand so far
The turbulent one sheds a turbulent tear
I'm Mr. Love only 'cause they starve

Oil and water, lust and sympathy
I'll life and death my way through the sun
Where originates all the pain that leaves
My memory a traumatic sponge and sings to you.

Cathy: Well define my love with attitude
Open up your mind and it will sing to you
Cathy: You can always tell.
Cathy: But I know remorse so well
I left reality early, due to the lack of love... Reason

Whatever it is I do, I try to think about you
I have a love for you that nothing hides
Whatever it is I do, I'm always thinking of you
I hope you look at me through patient eyes

The channel, a professioanl liar
How I long to contradict those vibes
Joni, help me, I think I'm falling
It's not the love and I quest the why
I don't know, if I'm right, I'm right
But if I'm wrong then show me I'm wrong
The fear of pity is always awake
But infinite sympathy completely gone
It's the windows, the doors, the passageway to the truth
Oh my god, it echoes the mind
In total recall as wild as the deuce
It's so deceiving is the clouded heart
So superficial is the open wound
I caress the infinite light
That even at night
Overshadows the moon and sings to you
Cathy: Well, define my love, that lives with you
Even when I die, it will sing to you
Cathy: You can always tell if remorse has done you well...
They misconstrued my answers due to the lack of love, reason

Whatever it is I do, I try to think about you
I have a love for you that nothing hides
Whatever it is I do, I'm always thinking of you
I hope you look at me through patient eyes

Review


Looking Through Patient Eyes is sublime, the Cathy track is minimal to say the least, but what there is has a bizarre haunting quality due to the echo etc. put on it. The song itself is bizarre stream of consciousness stuff that always seems on the edge of making sense. Vintage PM Dawn.
Rating... 4/5

Take me back to the index.
Take me back to the Discography.
Take me back to the listing for Love's On Every Corner.
Take me on to the listing for Marian.
