| [00:00.000] |
Starry starry night |
| [00:04.670] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
| [00:09.620] |
look out on a summer's day |
| [00:12.810] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
| [00:17.040] |
Shadows on the hills |
| [00:21.410] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
| [00:26.440] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
| [00:30.230] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
| [00:36.720] |
And now I understand |
| [00:41.210] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [00:45.940] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [00:50.770] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [00:53.820] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [00:59.320] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [01:04.990] |
Starry starry night |
| [01:09.640] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
| [01:14.880] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
| [01:18.550] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. |
| [01:22.910] |
Colors changing hue |
| [01:27.410] |
morning fields of amber grain |
| [01:32.620] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
| [01:36.720] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. |
| [01:40.990] |
And now I understand |
| [01:45.840] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [01:49.710] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [01:55.040] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [01:57.810] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [02:03.140] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
| [02:06.650] |
For they could not love you |
| [02:10.960] |
but still your love was true |
| [02:15.780] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
| [02:20.160] |
starry starry night. |
| [02:22.640] |
You took your life as lovers often do' |
| [02:27.720] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
| [02:31.820] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
| [02:41.130] |
Starry starry night |
| [02:45.770] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
| [02:50.890] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
| [02:54.700] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. |
| [02:58.580] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
| [03:03.340] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
| [03:07.880] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
| [03:11.380] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
| [03:16.820] |
And now I think I know |
| [03:21.770] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [03:26.310] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [03:31.870] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
| [03:34.690] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
| [03:40.680] |
perhaps they never will. |
