| [00:01.000] |
Starry starry night |
| [00:05.170] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
| [00:10.120] |
look out on a summer's day |
| [00:13.910] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
| [00:20.840] |
Shadows on the hills |
| [00:25.810] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
| [00:30.840] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
| [00:34.630] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
| [00:41.120] |
And now I understand |
| [00:45.610] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [00:50.340] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [00:55.170] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [00:58.220] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [01:03.720] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [01:09.390] |
Starry starry night |
| [01:14.040] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
| [01:19.280] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
| [01:24.150] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. |
| [01:28.810] |
Colors changing hue |
| [01:33.610] |
morning fields of amber grain |
| [01:38.820] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
| [01:43.520] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. |
| [01:47.790] |
And now I understand |
| [01:52.940] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [01:56.810] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [02:02.440] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [02:05.210] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [02:13.240] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [02:17.350] |
For they could not love you |
| [02:22.560] |
but still your love was true |
| [02:27.980] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
| [02:32.660] |
starry starry night. |
| [02:35.140] |
You took your life as lovers often do, |
| [02:40.220] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
| [02:46.720] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
| [02:56.030] |
Starry starry night |
| [03:00.670] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
| [03:05.790] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
| [03:11.100] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. |
| [03:15.580] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
| [03:20.340] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
| [03:26.380] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
| [03:29.880] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
| [03:35.320] |
And now I think I know |
| [03:40.270] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [03:44.810] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [03:50.370] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [03:53.190] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
| [03:59.180] |
perhaps they never will. |
| [04:09.530] |
