[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 |
