[00:03.870]Starry, starry night
[00:05.470]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:10.420]look out on a summer's day
[00:13.610]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.840]Shadows on the hills
[00:22.210]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:27.240]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:31.030]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:37.520]And now I understand
[00:42.010]what you tried to say to me
[00:46.740]and how you suffered for your sanity
[00:51.570]and how you tried to set them free.
[00:54.620]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:00.120]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:05.790]Starry starry night
[01:10.440]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:15.680]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:19.350]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:23.710]Colors changing hue
[01:28.210]morning fields of amber grain
[01:33.420]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:37.520]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:41.790]And now I understand
[01:46.640]what you tried to say to me
[01:50.510]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:55.840]and how you tried to set them free.
[01:58.610]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:03.940]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.350]For they could not love you
[02:12.660]but still your love was true
[02:17.480]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:21.860]starry starry night.
[02:24.340]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:29.420]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:33.520]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:42.830]Starry starry night
[02:47.470]portraits hung in empty halls
[02:52.590]frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:56.400]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:00.280]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:05.040]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:09.580]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:13.080]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:18.520]And now I think I know
[03:23.470]what you tried to say to me
[03:28.010]and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:33.570]and how you tried to set them free.
[03:36.390]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:42.380]perhaps they never will.
