[00:06.895] |
Starry starry night |
[00:12.900] |
paint your palette blue and grey |
[00:16.700] |
look out on a summer's day |
[00:19.710] |
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. |
[00:24.300] |
Shadows on the hills |
[00:28.400] |
sketch the trees and the daffodils |
[00:33.699] |
catch the breeze and the winter chills |
[00:37.348] |
in colors on the snowy linen land. |
[00:44.210] |
And now I understand |
[00:52.368] |
what you tried to say to me |
[00:57.329] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[01:02.159] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[01:05.209] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[01:10.825] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[01:19.770] |
Starry starry night |
[01:24.670] |
flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
[01:30.767] |
swirling clouds in violet haze |
[01:34.870] |
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. |
[01:38.797] |
Colors changing hue |
[01:45.674] |
morning fields of amber grain |
[01:48.672] |
weathered faces lined in pain |
[01:52.609] |
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. |
[01:59.881] |
And now I understand |
[02:04.727] |
what you tried to say to me |
[02:08.603] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[02:18.265] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[02:20.200] |
They would not listen they did not know how |
[02:26.560] |
perhaps they'll listen now. |
[02:32.600] |
For they could not love you |
[02:36.460] |
but still your love was true |
[02:44.280] |
and when no hope was left in sight on that |
[02:49.200] |
starry starry night. |
[02:51.500] |
You took your life as lovers often do, |
[02:56.220] |
But I could have told you Vincent |
[03:00.500] |
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. |
[03:08.999] |
Starry starry night |
[03:13.369] |
portraits hung in empty halls |
[03:19.299] |
frameless heads on nameless walls |
[03:22.299] |
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. |
[03:26.899] |
Like the stranger that you've met |
[03:33.399] |
the ragged men in ragged clothes |
[03:38.299] |
the silver thorn of bloddy rose |
[03:44.199] |
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. |
[03:49.99] |
And now I think I know |
[03:53.869] |
what you tried to say to me |
[03:59.390] |
and how you suffered for your sanity |
[04:06.300] |
and how you tried to set them free. |
[04:09.300] |
They would not listen they're not listening still |
[04:14.390] |
perhaps they never will. |
[04:23.399] |
