| [00:19.78] |
Starry starry night |
| [00:23.47] |
|
| [00:25.95] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
| [00:31.39] |
look out on a summer''s day |
| [00:35.67] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
| [00:40.47] |
Shadows on the hills |
| [00:45.29] |
|
| [00:46.16] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
| [00:51.35] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
| [00:55.28] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
| [00:59.58] |
And now I understand |
| [01:03.71] |
|
| [01:04.89] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [01:10.15] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [01:14.95] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [01:18.57] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [01:23.81] |
perhaps they''ll listen now |
| [01:29.56] |
Starry starry night |
| [01:34.61] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
| [01:39.67] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
| [01:43.41] |
reflect in Vincent''s eyes of China blue. |
| [01:47.65] |
Colors changing hue |
| [01:52.64] |
morning fields of amber grain |
| [01:57.90] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
| [02:01.22] |
are smoothed beneath the artist''s loving hand |
| [02:05.64] |
And now I understand |
| [02:10.69] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [02:15.63] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [02:20.12] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [02:23.80] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
| [02:28.60] |
perhaps they''ll listen now |
| [02:33.48] |
|
| [02:34.09] |
For they could not love you |
| [02:39.09] |
but still your love was true |
| [02:44.20] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
| [02:49.53] |
starry starry night |
| [02:51.52] |
You took your life as lovers often do |
| [02:57.83] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
| [03:01.45] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you |
| [03:09.62] |
|
| [03:12.50] |
Starry starry night |
| [03:17.86] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
| [03:22.85] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
| [03:26.66] |
with eyes that watch the world and can''t forget |
| [03:30.65] |
Like the stranger that you''ve met |
| [03:36.27] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
| [03:41.44] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
| [03:45.31] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow |
| [03:50.05] |
And now I think I know |
| [03:55.36] |
what you tried to say to me |
| [04:00.48] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
| [04:05.40] |
and how you tried to set them free |
| [04:08.96] |
They would not listen they''re not listening still |
| [04:14.66] |
perhaps they never will |
| [04:19.27] |
|
