[00:02.15]Starry, starry night
[00:06.74]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:11.23]look out on a summer's day
[00:14.93]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:19.01]Shadows on the hills
[00:23.30]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:28.08]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:31.88]in colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:38.33]And now I understand
[00:43.01]what you tried to say to me
[00:47.61] how you suffered for your sanity
[00:52.31] how you tried to set them free.
[00:55.62]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:01.53]perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:07.11]Starry starry night
[01:11.74]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:16.44]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:20.02]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:25.05]Colors changing hue
[01:29.49]morning fields of amber grain
[01:34.63]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:38.16]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:43.05]And now I understand
[01:47.84]what you tried to say to me
[01:52.37]how you suffered for your sanity
[01:57.06]how you tried to set them free.
[02:00.30]They would not listen they did not know how
[02:05.18]perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.91]For they could not love you
[02:13.20]but still your love was true
[02:18.55]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:22.89]starry starry night.
[02:25.16]You took your life as lovers often do,
[02:30.31]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:33.79]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
