[Verse 1]
Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Starry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of chinе blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of ambеr grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse 3]
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 stranger that you've met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
