Vincent Of Another Name

from Songs From A Car: Volume 1 by Tom Woodward

/

lyrics

He walks through the country loaded up with paint
Steps into the tavern where he drinks like a saint
The mistral wind is blowing in
Through canyons engraved in his skin
He wonders what is wrong with him again
He's only insane and he'll never find fame
He's just a Vincent of another name

All the people striving for their house on the hill
Build their little empires some are standing still
But these finer things he'll never know
He always swims against the flow
Caught beneath the rapids in his mind
He's like a painter gone blind
He wants a life he won't find
He's just a Vincent of another time

You're just always picking at your scabs
It's time to face your fears
The monsters in the darkness remove your from armour
You can't relive the passing of these years

Mockery, derision from the living and the dead
The beauty of hte landscape on a canvas in his head
To never see the light of day
The colours bleed and fade to grey
And nobody shall speak his name again
He was only insane
And he never found fame
He was just a Vincent of another name.
