Vincent

Album: Vincent Durasi: 5:09
[00:00.01]Starry, starry night
[00:04.51]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:08.70]Look out on a summer's day
[00:12.36]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:15.84]Shadows on the hills
[00:19.88]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:24.25]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:28.17]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:34.21]Now I understand
[00:37.87]What you tried to say to me
[00:42.52]And how you suffered for your sanity
[00:46.53]How you tried to set them free
[00:50.13]They would not listen, they did not know how
[00:53.96]Perhaps they'll listen now
[00:59.17]Starry, starry night
[01:03.27]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:08.05]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:11.77]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:15.11]Colors changing hue
[01:18.97]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:23.40]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:27.33]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:31.00]Now I understand
[01:34.80]What you tried to say to me
[01:39.41]How you suffered for your sanity
[01:42.86]How you tried to set them free
[01:46.32]They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:50.33]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:54.34]For they could not love you
[01:57.63]But still your love was true
[02:02.40]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:06.36]On that starry, starry night
[02:08.40]You took your life, as lovers often do
[02:12.15]But I could've told you, Vincent
[02:15.62]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[02:23.52]Starry, starry night
[02:27.53]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:32.51]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:36.31]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[02:39.79]Like the strangers that you've met
[02:43.60]The ragged men in their ragged clothes
[02:48.07]The silver thorn of the bloody rose
[02:51.88]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[02:57.22]Now I think I know
[03:01.48]What you tried to say to me
[03:06.76]And how you suffered for your sanity
[03:10.47]How you tried to set them free
[03:14.76]They would not listen, they're not listening still
[03:19.34]Perhaps they never will
