starry. starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that 'know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colours on the snoowy linen land

 

*Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

 

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China bluie

Colours changing hue

Morning fields of amber gram

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are sooth beneath the artist's loving hand

 

Repeat *

 

For they could not love you, love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you, Vincent

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

 

Oh, starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of a bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

 

Now I think I know

Oh, what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

Thay would not listen, they're not listening still

P:erhaps they never will
