[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. [02:08.350]For they could not love you [02:12.660]but still your love was true [02:17.480]and when no hope was left in sight on that [02:21.860]starry starry night. [02:24.340]You took your life as lovers often do, [02:29.420]But I could have told you Vincent [02:33.520]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. [02:42.830]Starry starry night [02:47.470]portraits hung in empty halls [02:52.590]frameless heads on nameless walls [02:56.400]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. [03:00.280]Like the stranger that you've met [03:05.040]the ragged men in ragged clothes [03:09.580]the silver thorn of bloddy rose [03:13.080]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. [03:18.520]And now I think I know [03:23.470]what you tried to say to me [03:28.010]and how you suffered for your sanity [03:33.570]and how you tried to set them free. [03:36.390]They would not listen they're not listening still [03:42.380]perhaps they never will.
