[00:00.00]Starry starry night
[00:04.67]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:09.62]look out on a summer's day
[00:12.81]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.04]Shadows on the hills
[00:21.41]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:26.44]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:30.23]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:36.72]And now I understand
[00:41.21]what you tried to say to me
[00:45.94]and how you suffered for your sanity
[00:50.77]and how you tried to set them free.
[00:53.82]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:59.32]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:04.99]Starry starry night
[01:09.64]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:14.88]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:18.55]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:22.91]Colors changing hue
[01:27.41]morning fields of amber grain
[01:32.62]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:36.72]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:40.99]And now I understand
[01:45.84]what you tried to say to me
[01:49.71]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:55.04]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:57.81]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:03.14]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:06.65]For they could not love you
[02:10.96]but still your love was true
[02:15.78]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:20.16]starry starry night.
[02:22.64]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:27.72]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:31.82]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:41.13]Starry starry night
[02:45.77]portraits hung in empty halls
[02:50.89]frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:54.70]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[02:58.58]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:03.34]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:07.88]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:11.38]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:16.82]And now I think I know
[03:21.77]what you tried to say to me
[03:26.31]and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:31.87]and how you tried to set them free.
[03:34.69]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:40.68]perhaps they never will.
