Lyrics

[00:15.39] Starry, starry night
[00:22.16] Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:28.55] Look out on a summer's day
[00:33.48] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:38.24]
[00:39.14] Shadows on the hills
[00:44.71] Sketch the trees and daffodils
[00:51.41] Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:56.79] In colors on the snowy linen land
[01:03.53]
[01:05.31] Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[01:17.99] How you suffered for your sanity
[01:23.80] How you tried to set them free
[01:27.59] They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:34.49] Perhaps, they'll listen now
[01:39.84]
[01:42.51] Starry, starry night
[01:48.40] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:55.21] Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:59.94] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:05.00]
[02:05.88] Colors changing hue
[02:11.21] Morning fields of amber grain
[02:18.08] Weathered faces lined in pain
[02:22.96] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:27.57]
[02:28.37] Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[02:40.43] How you suffered for your sanity
[02:46.81] And how you tried to set them free
[02:50.31] They would not listen, they did not know how
[02:57.50] Perhaps, they'll listen now
[03:01.09]
[03:01.82] For they could not love you
[03:07.22] And still your love was true
[03:14.25] And when no hope was left inside
[03:19.24] on that starry, starry night
[03:22.84]
[03:23.73] You took your life as lovers often do
[03:30.53] But I could have told you, Vincent
[03:34.14] This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[03:45.43]
[03:47.50] Starry, starry night
[03:54.00] Portraits hung in empty hall
[04:00.27] Frameless heads on nameless walls
[04:05.51] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:10.40]
[04:11.44] Like the strangers that you've met
[04:17.76] The ragged man in ragged clothes
[04:24.43] The silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:29.59] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[04:34.73]
[04:35.62] Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
[04:47.21] How you suffered for your sanity
[04:54.81] Then how you tried to set them free
[04:58.82] They would not listen, they're not listening still
[05:06.59] Perhaps, they never will..
[05:16.16]
