Salvation

Art can make a man go mad

Madness can make a man go blind

And art can be his salvation

 

My dad told me about the Starry Night

How Vincent cut off his own ear

Art can make a man go mad

 

He taught me using vinyl records

Do you know what this song is about?

And art can be his salvation

 

In our little living room, I listened

to the lessons of song, and learned

Art can make a man go mad

 

A man gets lost, full of histories

Dad tinkered with his guitar

And art can be his salvation

 

And you, my father, there on a starry night,

Music linked you and me to all the stories

Art can make a man go mad

And art can be his salvation
