Song for Vincent
Our nature is sorrowful
You were a stranger on this earth
Your heart was too full
And your mind was often hurt
Tragically misunderstood
I think I know how you felt
Relying on brotherhood
And a final cry for help
Oh but Vincent
You knew all too well
You weren't too sensitive
You were just living through hell
They think they know you
They don't even know themselves
It drove you to an asylum
And it put a bullet in your chest
You travelled the globe
Relentlessly tortured by love
For once I wish you'd let go
But I know better than to ask that much
Of you Vincent
They had you fooled
You weren't too sensitive
We both know the world is cruel
The pain that's in your mind
Is not what sets you apart
Keep on dreaming you'll come to find
Life's only worth living for art
Vincent don't you cry it's over
Don't blame yourself anymore
You can paint the white cliffs of Dover
They broke you down to the core
Oh but Vincent
Life is full of pain
But you escaped
As the only one sane
Oh Vincent
Don't be sad
You learnt to let go
Of what you never had
You were a stranger on this earth
Your heart was too full
And your mind was often hurt
Tragically misunderstood
I think I know how you felt
Relying on brotherhood
And a final cry for help
Oh but Vincent
You knew all too well
You weren't too sensitive
You were just living through hell
They think they know you
They don't even know themselves
It drove you to an asylum
And it put a bullet in your chest
You travelled the globe
Relentlessly tortured by love
For once I wish you'd let go
But I know better than to ask that much
Of you Vincent
They had you fooled
You weren't too sensitive
We both know the world is cruel
The pain that's in your mind
Is not what sets you apart
Keep on dreaming you'll come to find
Life's only worth living for art
Vincent don't you cry it's over
Don't blame yourself anymore
You can paint the white cliffs of Dover
They broke you down to the core
Oh but Vincent
Life is full of pain
But you escaped
As the only one sane
Oh Vincent
Don't be sad
You learnt to let go
Of what you never had
