[00:30.90] |
Starry, starry night |
[00:38.42] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
[00:43.99] |
look out on a summer's day |
[00:51.36] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
[00:56.50] |
Shadows on the hills |
[01:02.67] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
[01:07.64] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
[01:12.95] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
[01:19.84] |
And now I understand |
[01:26.04] |
what you tried to say to me |
[01:33.27] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[01:40.56] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[01:44.25] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[01:50.28] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[01:58.39] |
|
[02:46.56] |
Starry starry night |
[02:48.99] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
[02:54.29] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
[02:58.46] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. |
[03:06.38] |
Colors changing hue |
[03:09.97] |
morning fields of amber grain |
[03:14.72] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
[03:20.48] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. |
[03:26.73] |
|
[03:46.58] |
And now I understand |
[03:48.43] |
what you tried to say to me |
[03:50.65] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[03:56.23] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[04:01.68] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[04:08.46] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[04:16.93] |
For they could not love you |
[04:20.64] |
but still your love was true |
[04:26.23] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
[04:32.73] |
starry starry night. |
[04:36.72] |
You took your life as lovers often do, |
[04:46.26] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
[04:52.53] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
[05:06.45] |
|
[05:17.76] |
Starry starry night |
[05:20.83] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
[05:26.03] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
[05:29.92] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. |
[05:36.31] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
[05:41.44] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
[05:47.22] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
[05:53.03] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
[06:02.80] |
And now I think I know |
[06:08.38] |
what you tried to say to me |
[06:17.48] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[06:21.94] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[06:28.53] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
[06:35.53] |
perhaps they never will. |
[06:44.13] |
