[00:00.00]Declan Galbraith - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
[00:00.49]
[00:00.75]Starry, starry night.
[00:05.53]Paint your palette blue and grey,
[00:10.25]Look out on a summer's day,
[00:13.54]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
[00:17.95]Shadows on the hills,
[00:22.42]Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
[00:27.52]Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
[00:30.98]In colors on the snowy linen land.
[00:35.70]
[00:37.70]Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
[00:46.92]How you suffered for your sanity,
[00:52.01]How you tried to set them free.
[00:55.08]They would not listen, they did not know how.
[01:00.95]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[01:04.58]
[01:06.30]Starry, starry night.
[01:11.14]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
[01:15.83]Swirling clouds in violet haze,
[01:19.74]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
[01:24.21]Colors changing hue,
[01:29.09]morning field of amber grain,
[01:34.02]Weathered faces lined in pain,
[01:37.65]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
[01:42.40]
[01:42.77]Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
[01:52.20]How you suffered for your sanity,
[01:56.80]How you tried to set them free.
[01:59.99]They would not listen, they did not know how.
[02:05.67]Perhaps they'll listen now.
[02:08.12]For they could not love you,
[02:13.15]But still your love was true.
[02:17.87]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:21.49]On that starry, starry night,
[02:24.68]You took your life, as lovers often do.
[02:30.15]But I could have told you, Vincent,
[02:34.11]This world was never meant for one
[02:36.70]As beautiful as you.
[02:41.05]
[02:43.20]Starry, starry night.
[02:48.35]Portraits hung in empty halls,
[02:52.78]Frameless head on nameless walls,
[02:56.85]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
[03:01.22]Like the strangers that you've met,
[03:04.92]All the ragged men in the ragged clothes,
[03:10.35]The silver thorn of bloody rose,
[03:14.28]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
[03:19.47]Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
[03:29.66]How you suffered for your sanity,
[03:34.57]How you tried to set them free.
[03:38.38]They would not listen, they're not listening still.
[03:44.01]Perhaps they never will...
