There I Van Gogh Again

They must have known
They must have seen
They must have known about Van Gogh

He must have had
A beautiful wife
He must have had it’s a wonderful life

To make art
To help them see
The world around them, the beauty

Lend me your ear
Sad you see
It’s all beauty

He must have known
He must have seen
He must have known such a pity

Colleagues must have gazed
His critics kept at bay
By the art he made, he had something to say

Oh to create
Such a life to live
Headaches gone away, eye no more twitch

Lend me your ear
Sad you see
It’s all beauty

Have you ever seen
A painting on a wall
Looking back at you while you fall

Here I am hangin’
In a room full of empty eyes
Will they get their fill, do they want to be filled

There I Van Gogh
There I Van Gogh again
There I Van Gogh all alone

Lend me your ear
Sad you see
It’s all beauty

There I Van Gogh
There I Van Gogh again
There I Van Gogh all alone
