Starry starry nignt
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that knowThe darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chill
sin colors on the snowy linen land
*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 lisen They did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
Srarry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly laze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in vincent’s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneathThe artist’s loving hand
*For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope wasLeft 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 meantFor one as beautiful as you
Starry starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watchThe world and can’t torget
Like the strangers that you’ve met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and brokenOn the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you srffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them freeThey would not listen
They’re not listening stillPerhpas they never will
