| [00:36.997] |
Starry starry night |
| [00:37.996] |
|
| [00:42.089] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
| [00:46.825] |
look out on a summer's day |
| [00:50.745] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul |
| [00:56.885] |
Shadows on the hills |
| [01:01.059] |
|
| [01:02.450] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
| [01:06.066] |
|
| [01:07.416] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
| [01:09.666] |
in colors on the snowy linen land |
| [01:13.777] |
|
| [01:15.295] |
|
| [01:17.015] |
And now I understand |
| [01:21.055] |
|
| [01:22.577] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [01:26.750] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [01:32.196] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [01:35.125] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [01:36.789] |
|
| [01:39.415] |
perhaps they'll listen now |
| [01:43.480] |
|
| [01:45.086] |
Starry starry night |
| [01:48.678] |
|
| [01:50.000] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
| [01:55.789] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
| [01:59.499] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue |
| [02:02.889] |
Colors changing hue |
| [02:06.799] |
morning fields of amber grain |
| [02:11.890] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
| [02:16.390] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand |
| [02:22.349] |
And now I understand |
| [02:27.699] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [02:32.779] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [02:39.099] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [02:41.090] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [02:45.559] |
perhaps they'll listen now |
| [02:50.919] |
For they could not love you |
| [02:55.678] |
but still your love was true |
| [02:59.289] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
| [02:59.399] |
|
| [03:04.269] |
starry starry night |
| [03:08.999] |
|
| [03:09.028] |
You took your life as lovers often do |
| [03:13.399] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
| [03:15.078] |
|
| [03:15.190] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you |
| [03:26.899] |
Starry starry night |
| [03:29.919] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
| [03:35.269] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
| [03:39.199] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget |
| [03:43.339] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
| [03:48.699] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
| [03:53.099] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
| [03:57.699] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow |
| [04:03.399] |
And now I think I know |
| [04:08.689] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [04:14.099] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [04:18.139] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [04:21.719] |
They would not listenThey would not know how |
| [04:28.219] |
Perhaps they'll listen now |
| [04:32.990] |
They would not listen |
| [04:35.219] |
they're not listening still |
| [04:35.379] |
|
| [04:39.409] |
perhaps they never will |
