[00:00.02]Stary, stary night
[00:07.08]Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:11.81]Look out on a summer's day
[00:15.05]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:19.33]Shadows on the hills
[00:23.84]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:28.84]Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[00:32.72]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:39.18]Now I understand
[00:43.87]What you tried to say to me
[00:48.23]And how you suffered for your sanity
[00:53.44]How you tried to set them free
[00:56.65]They would not listening; they did not know how
[01:02.30]Perhaps they will listen now
[01:07.82]Stary, stary night
[01:12.51]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:17.44]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:21.42]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:25.81]Colors changing hue
[01:30.72]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:35.39]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:39.71]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:44.29]Now I understand
[01:49.13]What you tried to say to me
[01:53.31]And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:58.24]And how you tried to set them free
[02:01.46]They would not listen; they did not know how
[02:06.89]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:10.28]For they could not love you
[02:14.10]But still, your love was true
[02:19.26]And when no hope was left inside
[02:23.06]On that stary, stary night
[02:26.31]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:31.57]But I could've told you, Vincent
[02:35.36]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[02:44.69]Stary, stary night
[02:49.83]Portraits hung in empty halls
[02:54.52]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[02:58.56]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:02.74]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:07.08]The ragged men in ragged clothes
[03:11.86]The silver thorn, a bloody rose
[03:15.98]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:21.41]Now I think I know
[03:26.56]What you tried to say to me
[03:31.14]And how you suffered for your sanity
[03:36.00]And how you tried to set them free
[03:39.62]They would not listen; they did not know how
[03:45.18]Perhaps they never will
