[00:06.895]Starry starry night
[00:12.900]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:16.700]look out on a summer's day
[00:19.710]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:24.300]Shadows on the hills
[00:28.400]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:33.699]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:37.348]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:44.210]And now I understand
[00:52.368]what you tried to say to me
[00:57.329]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:02.159]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:05.209]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:10.825]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:19.770]Starry starry night
[01:24.670]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:30.767]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:34.870]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:38.797]Colors changing hue
[01:45.674]morning fields of amber grain
[01:48.672]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:52.609]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:59.881]And now I understand
[02:04.727]what you tried to say to me
[02:08.603]and how you suffered for your sanity
[02:18.265]and how you tried to set them free.
[02:20.200]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:26.560]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:32.600]For they could not love you
[02:36.460]but still your love was true
[02:44.280]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:49.200]starry starry night.
[02:51.500]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:56.220]But I could have told you Vincent
[03:00.500]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[03:08.999]Starry starry night
[03:13.369]portraits hung in empty halls
[03:19.299]frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:22.299]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:26.899]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:33.399]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:38.299]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:44.199]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:49.99]And now I think I know
[03:53.869]what you tried to say to me
[03:59.390]and how you suffered for your sanity
[04:06.300]and how you tried to set them free.
[04:09.300]They would not listen they're not listening still
[04:14.390]perhaps they never will.
