[00:09.166]Starry starry night
[00:15.370]paint your palette blue and grey
[00:21.270]look out on a summer's day
[00:24.884]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:29.091]Shadows on the hills
[00:33.252]sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:38.769]catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:44.328]in colors on the snowy linen land
[00:50.628]And now I understand
[00:55.722]what you tried to say to me
[01:00.420]and how you suffered for your sanity
[01:06.128]and how you tried to set them free
[01:09.826]They would not listen
[01:11.856]they did not know how
[01:15.106]perhaps they'll listen now
[01:21.177]Starry starry night
[01:26.747]flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:30.912]swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:35.499]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
[01:39.771]Colors changing hue
[01:44.457]morning fields of amber grain
[01:49.071]weathered faces lined in pain
[01:54.572]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:01.969]And now I understand
[02:07.332]what you tried to say to me
[02:12.294]and how you suffered for your sanity
[02:16.885]and how you tried to set them free
[02:20.785]They would not listen
[02:22.164]they did not know how
[02:25.527]perhaps they'll listen now
[02:29.250]For they could not love you
[02:32.937]but still your love was true
[02:39.500]and when no hope was left in sight on that
[02:44.701]starry starry night.
[02:46.681]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:50.495]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:55.337]this world was never meant for one
[03:00.066]as beautiful as you
[03:04.802]Starry starry night
[03:10.378]portraits hung in empty halls
[03:13.939]frameless heads
[03:16.605]on nameless walls
[03:19.494]with eyes that watch the world
[03:21.301]and can't forget
[03:23.235]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:29.520]the ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:34.608]the silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:38.706]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:43.602]And now I think I know
[03:50.536]what you tried to say to me
[03:55.872]and how you suffered for your sanity
[04:01.528]and how you tried to set them free.
[04:04.652]They would not listen
[04:06.630]they're not listening still
[04:11.000]perhaps they never will
