Starry Starry Night Lyrics

Starry Starry night  
Paint your palette
blue and grey
Look out on a
summer's day
With eyes that know
the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and
the daffodils
Catch the breeze and
the winter chills
In colours on the
snowy linen land.

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that
brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in
violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's
eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of
amber grain
Weathered faces
lined in pain
Are soothed beneath
the artist's loving hand.

For they could not
love you
But still, your love
was true
And when no hope was
left inside
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...

Portraits hung in
empty halls
Frameless heads on
nameless walls
With eyes that watch
the world and can't forget
Like the strangers
that you've met
The ragged men in
ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a
bloody rose
Lie crushed and
broken on the virgin snow.

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 would not
listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never
will...
