Lyrics
0:00Starry starry night
0:05Paint your palette blue and grey
0:09Look out on a summer's day
0:13With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
0:17Shadows on the hills
0:21Sketch the trees and the daffodils
0:27Catch the breeze and the winter chills
0:30In colors on the snowy linen land.
0:37And now I understand
0:41What you tried to say to me
0:46And how you suffered for your sanity
0:51And how you tried to set them free.
0:54They would not listen they did not know how
1:00Perhaps they'll listen now.
1:05Starry starry night
1:10Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
1:15Swirling clouds in violet haze
1:19Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
1:23Colors changing hue
1:28Morning fields of amber grain
1:33Weathered faces lined in pain
1:37Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
1:41And now I understand
1:46What you tried to say to me
1:50And how you suffered for your sanity
1:55And how you tried to set them free.
1:58They would not listen they did not know how
2:04Perhaps they'll listen now.
2:07For they could not love you
2:11But still your love was true
2:16And when no hope was left inside on that.
2:22Starry starry night
2:23You took your life as lovers often do
2:28But I could have told you Vincent
2:32This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
2:41Starry starry night
2:46Portraits hung in empty halls
2:51Frameless heads on nameless walls
2:55With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
2:59Like the stranger that you've met
3:03The ragged men in ragged clothes
3:08The silver thorn of bloody rose.
3:12Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
3:17And now I think I know
3:22What you tried to say to me
3:27And how you suffered for your sanity
3:32And how you tried to set them free.
3:35They would not listen they're not listening still
3:41Perhaps they never will
Starry starry night Paint your palette blue and grey 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 colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And 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 blue. Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. And now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now. For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside 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. 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 stranger that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose. Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. And now I think I know What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
