[00:30.90]Starry, starry night
[00:38.42]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:43.99]look out on a summer's day
[00:51.36]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:56.50]Shadows on the hills
[01:02.67]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[01:07.64]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[01:12.95]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[01:19.84]And now I understand
[01:26.04]what you tried to say to me
[01:33.27]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:40.56]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:44.25]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:50.28]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:58.39]
[02:46.56]Starry starry night
[02:48.99]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[02:54.29]swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:58.46]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[03:06.38]Colors changing hue
[03:09.97]morning fields of amber grain
[03:14.72]weathered faces lined in pain
[03:20.48]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[03:26.73]
[03:46.58]And now I understand
[03:48.43]what you tried to say to me
[03:50.65]and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:56.23]and how you tried to set them free.
[04:01.68]They would not listen they did not know how
[04:08.46]perhaps they'll listen now.
[04:16.93]For they could not love you
[04:20.64]but still your love was true
[04:26.23]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[04:32.73]starry starry night.
[04:36.72]You took your life as lovers often do,
[04:46.26]But I could have told you Vincent
[04:52.53]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[05:06.45]
[05:17.76]Starry starry night
[05:20.83]portraits hung in empty halls
[05:26.03]frameless heads on nameless walls
[05:29.92]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[05:36.31]Like the stranger that you've met
[05:41.44]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[05:47.22]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[05:53.03]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[06:02.80]And now I think I know
[06:08.38]what you tried to say to me
[06:17.48]and how you suffered for your sanity
[06:21.94]and how you tried to set them free.
[06:28.53]They would not listen they're not listening still
[06:35.53]perhaps they never will.
