[00:24.05]Starry starry night
[00:30.00]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:35.66]Look out on a summer's day
[00:39.86]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:44.16]Shadows on the hills
[00:49.97]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:55.77]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:59.77]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[01:07.37]Now I understand
[01:13.07]What you tried to say to me
[01:18.01]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:23.66]How you tried to set them free.
[01:26.76]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:33.11]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:39.01]Starry starry night
[01:45.07]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:50.73]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:54.83]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:59.55]Colors changing hue
[02:05.20]Morning fields of amber grain
[02:10.85]Weathered faces lined in pain
[02:14.77]Are sooth beneath the artist's loving hand.
[02:22.62]Now I understand
[02:28.07]What you tried to say to me
[02:32.99]How you suffered for your sanity
[02:38.64]How you tried to set them free.
[02:41.84]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:48.25]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:54.20]For they could not love you
[02:59.75]But still your love was true
[03:06.30]And when no hope was left
[03:08.48]In sight on that
[03:10.28]Starry starry night.
[03:12.69]You took your life as lovers often do,
[03:18.83]But I could have told you Vincent
[03:21.73]This world was never meant for one
[03:24.84]As beautiful as you.
[03:32.82]Starry starry night
[03:39.07]Portraits hung in empty halls
[03:44.77]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:48.93]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:53.28]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:59.43]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[04:05.29]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:09.34]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[04:17.06]Now I think I know
[04:22.66]What you tried to say to me
[04:27.67]How you suffered for your sanity
[04:33.97]How you tried to set them free.
[04:36.67]They would not listen they're not listening still
[04:43.67]Perhaps they never will.
