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 winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flamin' flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china-blue Colors changing hue Morning field of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And 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 inside 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 hall Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged man and ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the *** snow Now I think I know what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They're not listening still Perhaps they never will
