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 colors on the snowy linen land.
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 listen now
Starry starry night
Flamin' flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent`s eyes
of china blue Colors changing hue
Morning field of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed
Beneath the artist`s loving hand
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`ve 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 straingers that you`ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of a bloody rose
Like 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
