Gerry Rafferty - Patrick lyrics

Patrick my primitive painter of art

You will always and ever be near to my heart

I will never cross water, never cross sea

We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me.

The things that we have are all that we need

You have your painting, and I like to

Read books by people of feeling, someone sincere

They remind me of you and what we have here.

Patrick my primitive painter of art

You will always and ever be near to my heart

I will never cross water, never cross sea

We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me.

If in our lifetime we find peace of mind

We'll remember the bad days that we left behind

Thinking only of love and what it can bring

You paint songs for the children, a song we'll always sing.

Patrick my primitive painter of art

You will always and ever be near to my heart

I will never cross water, never cross sea

We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me.
