Saint Patrick Lyrics

Lyric discussion by undersessions 

Cover art for Saint Patrick lyrics by James Yorkston

Like all of yorkstons songs, beautiful melody, beautifully played. Lyrically, i'm never sure i know definately what they're about, but he always instills feeling with his lyrics and paints pictures of situations fantastically well.

I guess this is about someone he can't be with, and it's weighing on his mind. By the end of the song i think he has resolved to go away and live carelessy for a awhile, presuamably to get her out of his.

Hardly the most profound interpretation, i know, but it was the best i could do, although i have listened to this song non-stop for the past two weeks.
