Lyrics

[00:15.579] starry, starry night
[00:22.330] paint your palette blue and grey
[00:27.700]
[00:28.820] look out on a summer's day
[00:33.640] with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:38.730] shadows on the hills
[00:42.220]
[00:45.160] sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:51.840] catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:57.300] in colors on the snowy linen land
[01:02.250]
[01:05.990] now i understand what you tried to say to me
[01:18.000]
[01:18.200] how you suffered for your sanity
[01:24.710] how you tried to set them free
[01:27.770] they would not listen, they did not know how
[01:34.970] perhaps they'll listen now
[01:41.890] starry, starry night
[01:46.320]
[01:49.189] flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:55.370] swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:00.120] reflect in vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:05.680] colors changing hue
[02:12.179] morning field of amber grain
[02:18.719] weathered faces lined in pain
[02:23.839] are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:28.209] now i understand what you tried to say to me
[02:40.719] how you suffered for your sanity
[02:45.579]
[02:46.978] how you tried to set them free
[02:50.728] they would not listen, they did not know how
[02:58.159] perhaps they'll listen now
[03:01.769] for they could not love you
[03:06.999] but still your love was true
[03:15.379] and when no hope was left in sight
[03:19.309] on that starry, starry night
[03:23.599] you took your life, as lovers often do
[03:30.599] but i could have told you, vincent
[03:34.159] this world was never meant for one
[03:38.670] as beautiful as you
[03:47.529] starry, starry night
[03:54.499] portraits hung in empty halls
[04:01.690] frameless head on nameless walls
[04:05.569] with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:11.499] like the strangers that you've met
[04:17.928]
[04:19.190] all the ragged men in the ragged clothes
[04:24.789] the silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:29.499] lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[04:35.640] now i think i know what you tried to say to me
[04:47.130] how you suffered for your sanity
[04:53.549] how you tried to set them free
[04:59.359] they would not listen, they're not listening still
[05:07.990] perhaps they never will
