| [00:03.870] |
Starry, starry night |
| [00:05.470] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
| [00:10.420] |
look out on a summer's day |
| [00:13.610] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
| [00:17.840] |
Shadows on the hills |
| [00:22.210] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
| [00:27.240] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
| [00:31.030] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
| [00:37.520] |
And now I understand |
| [00:42.010] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [00:46.740] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [00:51.570] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [00:54.620] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [01:00.120] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [01:05.790] |
Starry starry night |
| [01:10.440] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
| [01:15.680] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
| [01:19.350] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. |
| [01:23.710] |
Colors changing hue |
| [01:28.210] |
morning fields of amber grain |
| [01:33.420] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
| [01:37.520] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. |
| [01:41.790] |
And now I understand |
| [01:46.640] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [01:50.510] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [01:55.840] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [01:58.610] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [02:03.940] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [02:07.450] |
For they could not love you |
| [02:11.760] |
but still your love was true |
| [02:16.580] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
| [02:20.960] |
starry starry night. |
| [02:23.440] |
You took your life as lovers often do, |
| [02:28.520] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
| [02:32.620] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
| [02:41.930] |
Starry starry night |
| [02:46.570] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
| [02:51.690] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
| [02:55.500] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. |
| [02:59.380] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
| [03:04.140] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
| [03:08.680] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
| [03:12.180] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
| [03:17.620] |
And now I think I know |
| [03:22.570] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [03:27.110] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [03:32.670] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [03:35.490] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
| [03:41.480] |
perhaps they never will. |
