By the firelight in the new moon dark
On the rocks out there, the precambrian crust
And the water tells you what the wind is doin
My feet on the ground being warmed by the fire
The twinkling lights of a faraway loft
Make me think of Vincent Van Gogh
Oh Vincent
No friend for you
Only the paint and their hues
And then you brought to life from your soft dead hand
And tonights the night, you had that light in your eye
So tonight my love you'll be my muse
No more fast connections or telephone lines tonight
Oh Vincent....
And then you brought to life from your soft dead eyes
With only one more ear and tonight's a surprise
You will be my muse
No fast connection or pity the fool
His hair smells of fir an' sticky sweet poplar buds
Cypress is in the air ~~~
Oh Vincent...
