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.
