Vincent lyrics

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness of my soul

Shadows on the hill

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They did not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

And the colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They did not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

And still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night

You took your life, as lovers often do

But I could've told you, Vincent

This world was never meant

For one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung on empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met

All the ragged men in ragged clothes

And a silver thorn of a bloody rose

Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow

And now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They did not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will
