Lyrics

[00:00.750] Starry' starry night.
[00:05.530] Paint your palette blue and grey'
[00:10.250] Look out on a summer's day'
[00:13.540] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.950] Shadows on the hills'
[00:22.420] Sketch the trees and the daffodils'
[00:27.520] Catch the breeze and the winter chills'
[00:30.980] In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:37.700] Now I understand what you tried to say to me'
[00:46.920] How you suffered for your sanity'
[00:52.010] How you tried to set them free.
[00:55.080] They would not listen' they did not know how.
[01:00.950] Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:06.300] Starry' starry night.
[01:11.140] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze'
[01:15.830] Swirling clouds in violet haze'
[01:19.740] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:24.210] Colors changing hue'
[01:29.090] morning field of amber grain'
[01:34.020] Weathered faces lined in pain'
[01:37.650] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:42.770] Now I understand what you tried to say to me'
[01:52.200] How you suffered for your sanity'
[01:56.800] How you tried to set them free.
[01:59.990] They would not listen' they did not know how.
[02:05.670] Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.120] For they could not love you'
[02:13.150] But still your love was true.
[02:17.870] And when no hope was left in sight
[02:21.490] On that starry' starry night'
[02:24.680] You took your life' as lovers often do.
[02:30.150] But I could have told you' Vincent'
[02:34.110] This world was never meant for one
[02:36.700] As beautiful as you.
[02:43.200] Starry' starry night.
[02:48.350] Portraits hung in empty halls'
[02:52.780] Frameless head on nameless walls'
[02:56.850] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:01.220] Like the strangers that you've met'
[03:04.920] All the ragged men in the ragged clothes'
[03:10.350] The silver thorn of bloody rose'
[03:14.280] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:19.470] Now I think I know what you tried to say to me'
[03:29.660] How you suffered for your sanity'
[03:34.570] How you tried to set them free.
[03:38.380] They would not listen' they're not listening still.
[03:44.010] Perhaps they never will...
