Rachel

[Verse 1]

My name is Rachel, I was born here on the coldest day of May

And I work here in this brothel, I do not feel ashamed

You can tell me the men are faithless, you can tell me the men are sin

But I’ve cured the devils, I’ve held the innocent

[Verse 2]

There was a painter, he used to come here, at least when he could afford

Which wasn’t often, but when he did, it was me he would implore

They told me he was crazy, but I did not seem to hear

Until one night when he gave me a bloody piece of his ear

[Chorus]

Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so, oh Vincent, how was I to know

In the long run, history will make it clear

But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear

[Verse 3]

There was another painter, name of Gauguin, more famous I suppose

They were friends, maybe lovers, oh with painters you never know

They were screaming, and they were fighting, Gauguin drew his blade

And he slashed at poor Vincent and they never spoke again

[Chorus]

Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so

Oh Vincent, how were we to know

In the long run, history will make it clear

But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear

[Verse 4]

All your sadness, it will vanish, whenever you choose to leave

When you bury yourself in your painting, beneath the crows, amongst the wheat

And I will lie here and I will wonder about the gift you gave

Was it your sickness, was it your madness or just a way to share your pain

[Chorus]

Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so

Oh Vincent, how were  you to know

In the long run, history will make it clear

But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear

All my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear
