[00:02.19]Starry
[00:07.66]Starry night
[00:09.09]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:14.97]Look out on a summer's day
[00:19.82]With eyes that know the
[00:23.02]Darkness in my soul.
[00:24.77]Shadows on the hills
[00:27.06]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:33.55]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:39.06]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:43.41]And now I understand what you tried to say to me
[00:55.06]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:59.88]How you tried to set them free.
[01:03.76]They would not listen
[01:05.65]They did not know how
[01:07.73]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:13.24]Starry
[01:16.90]Starry night
[01:18.68]Flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze
[01:24.44]Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
[01:30.59]Vincent's eyes of China blue.
[01:33.03]Colors changing hue
[01:36.08]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:41.71]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:46.36]Are soothed beneath the artist's
[01:48.65]Loving hand.
[01:50.26]And now I understand what you tried to say to me
[01:58.62]How you suffered for your sanity
[02:03.25]How you tried to set them free.
[02:07.33]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:16.82]For they could not love you
[02:19.84]But still your love was true
[02:25.20]And when no hope was left in sight on that starry
[02:32.50]Starry night.
[02:34.01]You took your life
[02:36.62]As lovers often do;
[02:39.43]But I could have told you
[02:45.19]Vincent
[02:46.28]This world was never
[02:49.07]Meant for one
[02:51.25]As beautiful as you.
[02:56.90]Starry
[02:59.33]Starry night
[03:01.14]Portraits hung in empty halls
[03:07.06]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:11.79]With eyes
[03:13.08]That watch the world and can't forget.
[03:15.40]Like the stranger that you've met
[03:18.19]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:23.36]The silver thorn of bloddy rose
[03:28.24]Lie crushed and broken
[03:29.99]On the virgin snow.
[03:31.99]And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
[03:40.53]How you suffered for your sanity
[03:44.90]How you tried to set them free.
[03:49.46]They would not listen
[03:51.59]They're not
[03:53.17]List'ning still
[03:55.09]Perhaps they never will.
