“starry starry night” vincent - don mclean (cover)
[00:28.00] Starry, starry night
[00:34.89] Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:40.66] Look out on a summer's day
[00:44.91] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:48.32] Shadows on the hills
[00:55.95] Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[01:00.94] Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[01:05.55] In colors on the snowy linen land
[01:12.08] Now I understand
[01:18.81] What you tried to say to me
[01:24.00] And how you suffered for your sanity
[01:30.29] And how you tried to set them free
[01:33.13] They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:40.13] Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:43.71] Starry, starry night
[01:49.63] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:56.39] Swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:00.17] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:04.82] Colors changing hue
[02:10.59] Morning fields of amber grain
[02:16.34] Weathered faces lined in pain
[02:20.72] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:27.28] Now I understand
[02:34.90] What you tried to say to me
[02:40.17] And how you suffered for your sanity
[02:46.05] And how you tried to set them free
[02:49.05] They would not listen, they did not know how
[02:55.86] Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:58.95] For they could not love you
[03:06.96] But still your love was true
[03:11.98] And when no hope was left in sight
[03:16.70] On that starry, starry night
[03:21.09] You took your life, as lovers often do
[03:31.32] But I could've told you Vincent
[03:37.05] This world was never meant for
[03:41.44] One as beautiful as you
[03:51.59] Starry, starry night
[03:57.60] Portraits hung in empty halls
[04:03.32] Frame-less heads on nameless walls
[04:07.46] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:12.20] Like the strangers that you've met
[04:18.69] The ragged men in ragged clothes
[04:24.59] The silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:28.60] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[04:36.86] Now I think I know
[04:42.37] What you tried to say to me
[04:47.59] And how you suffered for your sanity
[04:53.70] And how you tried to set them free
[04:58.96] They would not listen, they're not listening still
[05:08.99] Perhaps they never will
