[00:12.05] |
Starry starry night |
[00:17.97] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
[00:23.34] |
look out on a summer's day |
[00:27.09] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
[00:31.83] |
Shadows on the hills |
[00:39.12] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
[00:43.22] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
[00:46.92] |
in colors on the snowy linen land |
[00:54.52] |
And now I understand |
[01:00.18] |
what you tried to say to me |
[01:07.08] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[01:10.54] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[01:13.70] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[01:20.07] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[01:25.73] |
Starry starry night |
[01:31.45] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
[01:36.61] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
[01:40.81] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. |
[01:44.97] |
Colors changing hue |
[01:50.83] |
morning fields of amber grain |
[01:56.44] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
[02:00.35] |
are sooth beneath the artist's loving hand. |
[02:07.91] |
now I understand |
[02:13.44] |
what you tried to say to me |
[02:18.36] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[02:22.87] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[02:26.97] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[02:32.95] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[02:36.15] |
For they could not love you |
[02:41.78] |
but still your love was true |
[02:46.39] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
[02:51.40] |
starry starry night. |
[02:55.00] |
You took your life as lovers often do, |
[02:59.97] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
[03:04.18] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
[03:35.99] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
[03:41.35] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
[03:46.86] |
the silver thorn of bloody rose |
[03:51.01] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
[03:55.73] |
And now I think I know |
[04:01.49] |
what you tried to say to me |
[04:06.51] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[04:11.32] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[04:14.43] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
[04:20.88] |
perhaps they never will. |
