Vincent's Ear lyrics
by Michael Franks



How did you ever find her?She tried so hard to disappear.Somebody rang the bell andHanded 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 secretBut what could explain a gift so queer?Totally unprepared forThe riddle of Vincent's ear.Time can't erase the image:Handsomely wrapped for you, my dear.Imagine her surprise thenDiscovering Vincent's ear.
