[00:00.000] Starry starry night
[00:04.670] paint your palette blue and grey
[00:09.620] look out on a summer's day
[00:12.810] with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.040] Shadows on the hills
[00:21.410] sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:26.440] catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:30.230] in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:36.720] And now I understand
[00:41.210] what you tried to say to me
[00:45.940] and how you suffered for your sanity
[00:50.770] and how you tried to set them free.
[00:53.820] They would not listen they did not know how
[00:59.320] perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:04.990] Starry starry night
[01:09.640] flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:14.880] swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:18.550] reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:22.910] Colors changing hue
[01:27.410] morning fields of amber grain
[01:32.620] weathered faces lined in pain
[01:36.720] are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:40.990] And now I understand
[01:45.840] what you tried to say to me
[01:49.710] and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:55.040] and how you tried to set them free.
[01:57.810] They would not listen they did not know how
[02:03.140] perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:06.650] For they could not love you
[02:10.960] but still your love was true
[02:15.780] and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:20.160] starry starry night.
[02:22.640] You took your life as lovers often do'
[02:27.720] But I could have told you Vincent
[02:31.820] this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:41.130] Starry starry night
[02:45.770] portraits hung in empty halls
[02:50.890] frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:54.700] with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[02:58.580] Like the stranger that you've met
[03:03.340] the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:07.880] the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:11.380] lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:16.820] And now I think I know
[03:21.770] what you tried to say to me
[03:26.310] and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:31.870] and how you tried to set them free.
[03:34.690] They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:40.680] perhaps they never will.
