[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
