[00:02.03] Vincent / Grant Perez
[00:26.77] Starry, starry night
[00:33.77] Paint your palette blue and gray
[00:39.80] Look out on a summer's day
[00:44.02] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:49.03] Shadows on the hills
[00:54.54] Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[01:00.27] Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[01:04.79] In colors on the snowy linen land
[01:12.78] Now I understand
[01:18.02] What you tried to say to me
[01:23.54] How you suffered for your sanity
[01:28.53] And how you tried to set them free
[01:32.78] They would not listen, they did not know how
[01:40.53] Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:44.03] Starry, starry night
[01:49.79] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:56.03] Swirling clouds in violet haze
[02:00.27] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[02:04.53] Colors changing hue
[02:10.54] Morning fields of amber grain
[02:16.77] Weathered faces lined in pain
[02:20.78] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[02:28.27] Now, I understand
[02:34.04] What you tried to say to me
[02:39.78] And how you suffered for your sanity
[02:45.54] How you tried to set them free
[02:49.03] They would not listen, they did not know how
[02:55.53] Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:59.03] For they could not love you
[03:05.03] Still your love was true
[03:11.53] And when no hope was left in sight
[03:15.53] On that starry, starry night
[03:22.28] You took your life as lovers often do
[03:31.54] But I could have told you, Vincent
[03:36.77] This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[03:50.54] Starry, starry night
[03:56.78] Portraits hung in empty halls
[04:03.02] Frameless heads on nameless walls
[04:07.53] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[04:12.03] Like the strangers that you've met
[04:18.04] The ragged men in ragged clothes
[04:24.03] The silver thorn of bloody rose
[04:28.53] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[04:36.28] Now I think I know
[04:42.53] What you tried to say to me
[04:47.78] And how you suffered for your sanity
[04:53.53] And how you tried to set them free
[04:58.03] They would not listen, they're not listening still5
[05:07.78] Perhaps they never will
