Lyrics

[00:36.997] Starry starry night
[00:37.996]
[00:42.089] paint your palette blue and grey
[00:46.825] look out on a summer's day
[00:50.745] with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:56.885] Shadows on the hills
[01:01.059]
[01:02.450] sketch the trees and the daffodils
[01:06.066]
[01:07.416] catch the breeze and the winter chills
[01:09.666] in colors on the snowy linen land
[01:13.777]
[01:15.295]
[01:17.015] And now I understand
[01:21.055]
[01:22.577] what you tried to say to me
[01:26.750] and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:32.196] and how you tried to set them free
[01:35.125] They would not listen they did not know how
[01:36.789]
[01:39.415] perhaps they'll listen now
[01:43.480]
[01:45.086] Starry starry night
[01:48.678]
[01:50.000] flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:55.789] swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:59.499] reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
[02:02.889] Colors changing hue
[02:06.799] morning fields of amber grain
[02:11.890] weathered faces lined in pain
[02:16.390] are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:22.349] And now I understand
[02:27.699] what you tried to say to me
[02:32.779] and how you suffered for your sanity
[02:39.099] and how you tried to set them free
[02:41.090] They would not listen they did not know how
[02:45.559] perhaps they'll listen now
[02:50.919] For they could not love you
[02:55.678] but still your love was true
[02:59.289] and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:59.399]
[03:04.269] starry starry night
[03:08.999]
[03:09.028] You took your life as lovers often do
[03:13.399] But I could have told you Vincent
[03:15.078]
[03:15.190] this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[03:26.899] Starry starry night
[03:29.919] portraits hung in empty halls
[03:35.269] frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:39.199] with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:43.339] Like the stranger that you've met
[03:48.699] the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:53.099] the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:57.699] lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[04:03.399] And now I think I know
[04:08.689] what you tried to say to me
[04:14.099] and how you suffered for your sanity
[04:18.139] and how you tried to set them free
[04:21.719] They would not listenThey would not know how
[04:28.219] Perhaps they'll listen now
[04:32.990] They would not listen
[04:35.219] they're not listening still
[04:35.379]
[04:39.409] perhaps they never will
