[00:00.00]Starry starry night 
[00:04.67]paint your palette blue and grey 
[00:09.62]look out on a summer's day 
[00:12.81]with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. 
[00:17.04]Shadows on the hills 
[00:21.41]sketch the trees and the daffodils 
[00:26.44]catch the breeze and the winter chills 
[00:30.23]in colors on the snowy linen land. 
[00:36.72]And now I understand 
[00:41.21]what you tried to say to me 
[00:45.94]and how you suffered for your sanity 
[00:50.77]and how you tried to set them free. 
[00:53.82]They would not listen they did not know how 
[00:59.32]perhaps they'll listen now. 
[01:04.99]Starry starry night 
[01:09.64]flaming flowers that brightly blaze 
[01:14.88]swirling clouds in violet haze 
[01:18.55]reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. 
[01:22.91]Colors changing hue 
[01:27.41]morning fields of amber grain 
[01:32.62]weathered faces lined in pain 
[01:36.72]are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand. 
[01:40.99]And now I understand 
[01:45.84]what you tried to say to me 
[01:49.71]and how you suffered for your sanity 
[01:55.04]and how you tried to set them free. 
[01:57.81]They would not listen they did not know how 
[02:03.14]perhaps they'll listen now. 
[02:06.65]For they could not love you 
[02:10.96]but still your love was true 
[02:15.78]and when no hope was left in sight on that 
[02:20.16]starry starry night. 
[02:22.64]You took your life as lovers often do, 
[02:27.72]But I could have told you Vincent 
[02:31.82]this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. 
[02:41.13]Starry starry night 
[02:45.77]portraits hung in empty halls 
[02:50.89]frameless heads on nameless walls 
[02:54.70]with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. 
[02:58.58]Like the stranger that you've met 
[03:03.34]the ragged men in ragged clothes 
[03:07.88]the silver thorn of bloddy rose 
[03:11.38]lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. 
[03:16.82]And now I think I know 
[03:21.77]what you tried to say to me 
[03:26.31]and how you suffered for your sanity 
[03:31.87]and how you tried to set them free. 
[03:34.69]They would not listen they're not listening still 
[03:40.68]perhaps they never will.
