5. Vincent’s Ear
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 life 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.
