[00:04.79]Starry starry night
[00:06.03]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:09.48]Look out on a summer's day
[00:10.85]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:18.42]Shadows on the hills
[00:22.32]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:29.39]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:32.52]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:35.07]And now I understand
[00:36.63]What you tried to say to me
[00:39.99]And how you suffered for your sanity
[00:43.43]And how you tried to set them free
[00:49.53]They would not listen they did not know how
[00:52.74]Perhaps they'll listen now
[00:58.89]Starry starry night
[01:04.04]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:09.29]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:12.65]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
[01:16.40]Colors changing hue
[01:20.79]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:25.53]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:27.29]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:31.65]And now I understand
[01:40.10]What you tried to say to me
[01:44.04]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:49.07]And how you tried to set them free
[01:52.22]They would not listen they did not know how
[01:57.71]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:00.62]For they could not love you
[02:01.23]But still your love was true
[02:02.64]And when no hope was left inside on that
[02:03.54]Starry starry night
[02:08.12]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:10.11]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:12.96]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[02:15.09]Starry starry night
[02:15.71]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:17.49]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:18.93]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[02:22.16]Like the stranger that you've met
[02:26.37]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[02:30.65]The silver thorn of bloody rose
[02:34.34]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[02:37.91]And now I think I know
[02:44.40]What you tried to say to me
[02:48.30]And how you suffered for your sanity
[02:52.13]And how you tried to set them free
[03:02.18]They would not listen they're not listening still
[03:40.74]Perhaps they never will
