[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.
[02:07.450]For they could not love you
[02:11.760]but still your love was true
[02:16.580]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:20.960]starry starry night.
[02:23.440]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:28.520]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:32.620]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:41.930]Starry starry night
[02:46.570]portraits hung in empty halls
[02:51.690]frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:55.500]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[02:59.380]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:04.140]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:08.680]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:12.180]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:17.620]And now I think I know
[03:22.570]what you tried to say to me
[03:27.110]and how you suffered for your sanity
[03:32.670]and how you tried to set them free.
[03:35.490]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:41.480]perhaps they never will.
