VINCENT - Don McLean

[00:01.22]Starry starry night
[00:06.13]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:10.63]Look out on a summer's day
[00:14.18]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:18.06]Shadows on the hills
[00:22.58]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:27.29]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:30.8]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:37.19]Now I understand
[00:41.66]What you tried to say to me
[00:46.46]And how you suffered for your sanity
[00:51.05]And how you tried to set them free
[00:54.33]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:58.87]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:04.66]Starry starry night
[01:09.41]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:13.86]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:18.03]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:21.79]Colors changing hue
[01:26.26]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:30.74]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:34.770004]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:38.770004]Now I understand
[01:43.43]What you tried to say to me
[01:47.8]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:52.729996]And how you tried to set them free
[01:55.56]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:00.47]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:02.8]For they could not love you
[02:07.46]But still your love was true
[02:12.11]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:15.34]On that starry starry night
[02:18.54001]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:24.49]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:27.68]This world was never meant for one
[02:30.03]As beautiful as you
[02:38.37]Starry starry night
[02:42.98]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:47.88]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:51.34]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[02:54.88]Like the strangers that you've met
[02:59.68]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:04.43]The silver thorn a bloody rose
[03:08.08]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:12.61]Now I think I know
[03:17.28]What you tried to say to me
[03:22.05]And how you suffered for your sanity
[03:26.59]And how you tried to set them free
[03:29.83]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:35.77]Perhaps they never will
