Starry starry night
Paint your palette
blue and gray
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
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 brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflecting Vincent's
eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath
the artist's loving hands
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 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
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 clothes
A silver thorn on
a 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
