about

Based on the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver

lyrics

He sat opposite me on the couch
Said he could not hear the TV
I did not listen to him
Instead, listened to the sound of the man on my screen
“Did you know that In France the cathedrals are nearly 800 years old?”
“This one was built by hand, on a foundation of sand”
“One hundred years to make, not one mistake.”

I look over at him
I can’t bear the thought
Of him touching her skin to say goodbye
I know he’s blind
But that’s no excuse
Doesn’t stop his eyes burning right into mine
So I smile and pretend
Everything will all be worthwhile in the end
He looks at me and says
“Could you help me watch TV?”
“Say all the things you see”

“Alright”, I say to him
“But I might not do such a good job at this
I don’t know why
It’s unusual to do this
I’m used to leaving brain-dead things on in the background
There’s a person
And a dog
They’re entering a cathedral hall
And it’s tall
Pass your hand
Let me draw you a picture so you
Can see the lines”
For a moment I felt like there was nothing outside of me
