[00:19.78]Starry starry night
[00:23.47]
[00:25.95]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:31.39]look out on a summer''s day
[00:35.67]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:40.47]Shadows on the hills
[00:45.29]
[00:46.16]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:51.35]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:55.28]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:59.58]And now I understand
[01:03.71]
[01:04.89]what you tried to say to me
[01:10.15]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:14.95]and how you tried to set them free
[01:18.57]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:23.81]perhaps they''ll listen now
[01:29.56]Starry starry night
[01:34.61]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:39.67]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:43.41]reflect in Vincent''s eyes of China blue.
[01:47.65]Colors changing hue
[01:52.64]morning fields of amber grain
[01:57.90]weathered faces lined in pain
[02:01.22]are smoothed beneath the artist''s loving hand
[02:05.64]And now I understand
[02:10.69]what you tried to say to me
[02:15.63]and how you suffered for your sanity
[02:20.12]and how you tried to set them free
[02:23.80]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:28.60]perhaps they''ll listen now
[02:33.48]
[02:34.09]For they could not love you
[02:39.09]but still your love was true
[02:44.20]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:49.53]starry starry night
[02:51.52]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:57.83]But I could have told you Vincent
[03:01.45]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[03:09.62]
[03:12.50]Starry starry night
[03:17.86]portraits hung in empty halls
[03:22.85]frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:26.66]with eyes that watch the world and can''t forget
[03:30.65]Like the stranger that you''ve met
[03:36.27]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:41.44]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:45.31]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:50.05]And now I think I know
[03:55.36]what you tried to say to me
[04:00.48]and how you suffered for your sanity
[04:05.40]and how you tried to set them free
[04:08.96]They would not listen they''re not listening still
[04:14.66]perhaps they never will
[04:19.27]
