Starry Starry Night
Paint your pallet blue and grey
Look out on the summers day
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodills
Catch the breeze and the winter's chill
in colors on the snowy linen land
And now I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now
Starry Starry Night
Flaming flowers that bright blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hew
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
And now I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
but still your love was true
And when no hope was left insight on that Starry Starry Night
you took your life as lover sometimes do
But I could have told you Vincent this would 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 strangers that you've met
the ragged men in ragged cloths
The silver thorn of bloody rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they're not listening still
perhaps they never will
