[00:12.05]Starry starry night
[00:17.97]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:23.34]look out on a summer's day
[00:27.09]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:31.83]Shadows on the hills
[00:39.12]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:43.22]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:46.92]in colors on the snowy linen land
[00:54.52]And now I understand
[01:00.18]what you tried to say to me
[01:07.08]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:10.54]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:13.70]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:20.07]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:25.73]Starry starry night
[01:31.45]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:36.61]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:40.81]reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:44.97]Colors changing hue
[01:50.83]morning fields of amber grain
[01:56.44]weathered faces lined in pain
[02:00.35]are sooth beneath the artist's loving hand.
[02:07.91]now I understand
[02:13.44]what you tried to say to me
[02:18.36]and how you suffered for your sanity
[02:22.87]and how you tried to set them free.
[02:26.97]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:32.95]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:36.15]For they could not love you
[02:41.78]but still your love was true
[02:46.39]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:51.40]starry starry night.
[02:55.00]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:59.97]But I could have told you Vincent
[03:04.18]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[03:35.99]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:41.35]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:46.86]the silver thorn of bloody rose
[03:51.01]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:55.73]And now I think I know
[04:01.49]what you tried to say to me
[04:06.51]and how you suffered for your sanity
[04:11.32]and how you tried to set them free.
[04:14.43]They would not listen they're not listening still
[04:20.88]perhaps they never will.
