Vincent's Ear Lyrics

The song Vincent's Ear is performed by Michael Franks in the album named Blue Pacific in the year 1990 .



How did you ever find her?
She tried so hard to disappear.
Somebody rang the bell and
Handed her Vincent's ear.
And no one understands
All the love inside he tried to give
No one understands
His wife was hard to live
No one understands
In a past which he could not desert
No one understands
How his heart was hurt
Somehow by someone.
People suspect a secret
But what could explain a gift so queer?
Totally unprepared for
The riddle of Vincent's ear.
Time can't erase the image:
Handsomely wrapped for you, my dear.
Imagine her surprise then
Discovering Vincent's ear.
