[00:00.750]Starry' starry night.
[00:05.530]Paint your palette blue and grey'
[00:10.250]Look out on a summer's day'
[00:13.540]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.950]Shadows on the hills'
[00:22.420]Sketch the trees and the daffodils'
[00:27.520]Catch the breeze and the winter chills'
[00:30.980]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:37.700]Now I understand what you tried to say to me'
[00:46.920]How you suffered for your sanity'
[00:52.010]How you tried to set them free.
[00:55.080]They would not listen' they did not know how.
[01:00.950]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:06.300]Starry' starry night.
[01:11.140]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze'
[01:15.830]Swirling clouds in violet haze'
[01:19.740]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:24.210]Colors changing hue'
[01:29.090]morning field of amber grain'
[01:34.020]Weathered faces lined in pain'
[01:37.650]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:42.770]Now I understand what you tried to say to me'
[01:52.200]How you suffered for your sanity'
[01:56.800]How you tried to set them free.
[01:59.990]They would not listen' they did not know how.
[02:05.670]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.120]For they could not love you'
[02:13.150]But still your love was true.
[02:17.870]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:21.490]On that starry' starry night'
[02:24.680]You took your life' as lovers often do.
[02:30.150]But I could have told you' Vincent'
[02:34.110]This world was never meant for one
[02:36.700]As beautiful as you.
[02:43.200]Starry' starry night.
[02:48.350]Portraits hung in empty halls'
[02:52.780]Frameless head on nameless walls'
[02:56.850]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:01.220]Like the strangers that you've met'
[03:04.920]All the ragged men in the ragged clothes'
[03:10.350]The silver thorn of bloody rose'
[03:14.280]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:19.470]Now I think I know what you tried to say to me'
[03:29.660]How you suffered for your sanity'
[03:34.570]How you tried to set them free.
[03:38.380]They would not listen' they're not listening still.
[03:44.010]Perhaps they never will...
