[00:00.000]Starry starry night
[00:05.000]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:08.900]Look out on a summer's day
[00:13.500]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:18.500]Shadows on the hills
[00:22.500]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:28.000]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:31.500]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:36.400]And now I understand
[00:41.500]What you tried to say to me
[00:46.000]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:51.000]How you tried to set them free.
[00:54.500]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:59.500]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:04.800]Starry starry night
[01:10.500]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:15.800]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:20.000]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:24.500]And colors changing hue
[01:29.800]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:33.800]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:39.700]Are sooth beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:42.700]Now I understand
[01:47.200]What you tried to say to me
[01:51.500]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:57.500]How you tried to set them free.
[02:00.500]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:06.000]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:09.700]For they could not love you
[02:13.500]But still your love was true
[02:19.700]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:23.800]On that starry starry night.
[02:26.800]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:32.600]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:36.800]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
[02:45.700]Starry starry night
[02:52.200]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:57.000]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:00.300]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:04.700]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:09.700]All the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:15.300]And the silver thorn of bloody rose
[03:18.500]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:23.700]And now I think I know
[03:29.000]What you tried to say to me
[03:32.800]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:38.700]And how you tried to set them free.
[03:42.000]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:48.500]Perhaps they never will.
