[00:02.670]Starry, starry night
[00:04.270]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:09.220]look out on a summer's day
[00:12.410]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:16.640]Shadows on the hills
[00:21.010]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:26.040]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:29.830]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:36.920]And now I understand
[00:41.410]what you tried to say to me
[00:46.140]and how you suffered for your sanity
[00:50.970]and how you tried to set them free.
[00:54.020]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:59.520]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:05.190]Starry starry night
[01:09.840]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:15.080]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:18.750]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:23.110]Colors changing hue
[01:27.610]morning fields of amber grain
[01:32.820]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:36.920]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:41.790]And now I understand
[01:46.640]what you tried to say to me
[01:51.110]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:56.440]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:59.210]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:04.540]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.950]For they could not love you
[02:13.260]but still your love was true
[02:18.080]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:22.460]starry starry night.
[02:24.940]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:30.020]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:34.120]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:43.430]Starry starry night
[02:48.070]portraits hung in empty halls
[02:53.190]frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:57.000]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:00.880]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:05.640]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:10.180]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:13.680]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:19.120]And now I think I know
[03:24.070]what you tried to say to me
[03:28.610]and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:34.170]and how you tried to set them free.
[03:36.990]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:42.980]perhaps they never will.
