[00:08.06]Starry, starry night
[00:15.75]Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:23.42]Look out on a summer's day
[00:28.73]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:37.68]Shadows on the hills
[00:45.02]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:52.00]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:57.56]In colors on the snowy linen land
[01:06.65]Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
[01:20.19]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:27.23]How you tried to set them free
[01:33.78]They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:38.12]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:45.20]Starry, starry night
[01:52.72]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:59.80]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:05.27]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:14.26]Colors changing hue
[02:21.33]Morning fields of amber grain
[02:28.31]Weathered faces lined with pain
[02:34.37]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:43.06]Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
[02:56.76]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:04.40]How you tried to set them free
[03:07.54]They would not listen, they did not know how
[03:14.77]Perhaps they'll listen now
[03:21.90]For they could not love you
[03:28.83]But still your love was true
[03:35.40]And when no hope was left inside
[03:39.85]On that starry, starry night
[03:44.39]You took your life as lovers often do
[03:51.27]But I could have told you, Vincent
[03:55.82]This world was never meant for one
[03:58.66]As beautiful as you
[04:09.11]Starry, starry night
[04:16.34]Portraits hung in empty halls
[04:23.47]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[04:28.88]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:37.52]Like the strangers that you've met
[04:44.84]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[04:51.88]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:57.18]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[05:06.38]Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
[05:20.33]How you suffered for your sanity
[05:27.00]How you tried to set them free
[05:30.89]They would not listen, they're not listening still
[05:38.22]Perhaps they never will
