Lyrics

[00:08.050] Starry, starry night
[00:09.670]
[00:15.850] Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:20.400]
[00:23.210] Look out on a summer's day
[00:28.760] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:32.950]
[00:37.810] Shadows on the hills
[00:39.680]
[00:45.120] Sketch the trees and daffodils
[00:47.860]
[00:52.180] Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:56.440]
[00:57.370] In colors on the snowy linen land
[01:01.500]
[01:06.730] Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[01:17.600]
[01:20.410] How you suffered for your sanity
[01:24.100]
[01:27.400] How you tried to set them free
[01:29.310]
[01:30.620] They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:35.860]
[01:37.980] Perhaps, they'll listen now
[01:40.100]
[01:45.100] Starry, starry night
[01:46.720]
[01:52.710] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:56.470]
[01:59.780] Swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:03.460]
[02:04.950] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:08.450]
[02:14.190] Colors changing hue
[02:15.810]
[02:21.500] Morning fields of amber grain
[02:25.680]
[02:28.360] Weathered faces lined in pain
[02:33.480] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:38.040]
[02:42.720] Now I understand what you tried to say to me
[02:54.220]
[02:56.660] How you suffered for your sanity
[03:00.650]
[03:03.840] And how you tried to set them free
[03:07.510] They would not listen, they did not know how
[03:11.700]
[03:14.630] Perhaps, they'll listen now
[03:16.940]
[03:21.680] For they could not love you
[03:24.740]
[03:28.440] And still your love was true
[03:31.060]
[03:35.240] And when no hope was left inside
[03:39.110]
[03:39.670] on that starry, starry night
[03:42.740]
[03:43.150] You took your life as lovers often do
[03:48.220]
[03:51.090] But I could have told you, Vincent
[03:55.950] This world was never meant
[03:57.890] for one as beautiful as you
[04:03.440]
[04:12.540] Starry, starry night
[04:14.460]
[04:20.450] Portraits hung in empty hall
[04:24.500]
[04:27.500] Frameless heads on nameless walls
[04:32.740] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:36.860]
[04:41.350] Like the strangers that you've met
[04:43.730]
[04:49.210] The ragged man in ragged clothes
[04:56.010] The silver thorn of bloody rose
[05:01.320] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[05:07.560]
[05:10.620] Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
[05:22.040]
[05:24.470] How you suffered for your sanity
[05:28.520]
[05:31.340] Then how you tried to set freethem
[05:34.150] They would not listen, they're not listening still perhas they never well
