[00:23.08]Starry, starry night.
[00:25.15]
[00:29.39]Paint your palette blue and grey,
[00:32.76]
[00:35.21]Look out on a summer's day,
[00:39.21]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:42.91]
[00:44.55]Shadows on the hills,
[00:47.73]
[00:50.10]Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
[00:53.75]
[00:56.09]Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
[00:59.59]
[01:00.30]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[01:04.61]
[01:09.04]Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
[01:18.68]
[01:20.31]How you suffered for your sanity,
[01:23.68]
[01:26.80]How you tried to set them free.
[01:29.45]They would not listen, they did not know how.
[01:33.70]
[01:36.54]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:39.52]
[02:02.22]Starry, starry night.
[02:03.53]
[02:07.65]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
[02:11.22]
[02:12.87]Swirling clouds in violet haze,
[02:17.82]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[02:21.47]
[02:23.03]Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
[02:32.15]
[02:34.45]Weathered faces lined in pain,
[02:38.97]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[02:43.03]
[02:47.23]Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
[02:57.49]
[02:58.31]How you suffered for your sanity,
[03:01.63]
[03:05.27]How you tried to set them free.
[03:07.97]They would not listen, they did not know how.
[03:11.84]
[03:15.04]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[03:18.08]
[03:28.13]For they could not love you,
[03:31.00]
[03:34.20]But still your love was true.
[03:39.31]
[03:41.02]And when no hope was left in sight
[03:44.39]On that starry, starry night,
[03:47.06]
[03:47.63]You took your life, as lovers often do.
[03:52.22]
[03:54.39]But I could have told you, Vincent,
[04:00.21]This world was never meant for one
[04:05.16]As beautiful as you.
[04:09.96]
[04:32.90]Starry, starry night.
[04:36.44]
[04:39.32]Portraits hung in empty halls,
[04:43.51]
[04:45.06]Frameless head on nameless walls,
[04:48.49]
[04:49.30]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[04:53.84]Like the strangers that you've met,
[04:57.47]
[04:59.84]The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
[05:03.25]
[05:05.76]The silver thorn of bloody rose,
[05:08.71]
[05:09.51]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[05:14.33]
[05:18.10]Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
[05:28.71]How you suffered for your sanity,
[05:32.21]
[05:34.48]How you tried to set them free.
[05:37.73]They would not listen, they're not listening still.
[05:43.50]
[05:45.75]Perhaps they never will.
