Don McLean - Vincent

[00:05.87] Starry, starry night [00:07.19] Paint your palette blue and gray [00:11.30] Look out on a summer's day [00:13.11] With eyes that know the darkness in my soul [00:14.92] Shadows on the hills [00:19.72] Sketch the trees and the daffodils [00:25.60] Catch the breeze and the winter chills [00:29.79] In colors on the snowy, linen land [00:35.26] Now, I understand what you tried to say to me [00:45.36] And how you suffered for your sanity [00:49.84] And how you tried to set them free [00:53.31] They would not listen, they did not know how [00:57.77] Perhaps they'll listen now [01:02.01] Starry, starry night [01:05.45] [01:15.62] Flaming flowers that brightly blaze [01:16.94] Swirling clouds in violet haze [01:19.54] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue [01:26.31] Colors changing hue [01:29.25] Morning fields of amber grain [01:30.98] Weathered faces lined in pain [01:34.43] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand [01:41.06] Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me [01:48.45] How you suffered for your sanity [01:52.59] How you tried to set them free [01:58.32] They would not listen, they did not know how [02:02.16] Perhaps they'll listen now [02:07.07] For they could not love you [02:10.75] But still your love was true [02:15.37] And when no hope was left inside [02:21.70] On that starry, starry night [02:25.49] [02:29.57] You took your life as lovers often do [02:33.83] But I could have told you, Vincent [02:35.40] This world was never meant for one [02:39.57] As beautiful as you [02:43.15] Starry, starry night [02:46.52] Portraits hung in empty halls [02:49.70] Frameless heads on nameless walls [02:52.95] With eyes that watch the world and can't forget [03:00.21] Like the strangers that you've met [03:03.37] The ragged men in ragged clothes [03:07.66] [03:09.71] The silver thorn of bloody rose [03:15.46] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow [03:19.78] Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me [03:28.79] How you suffered for your sanity [03:31.97] How you tried to set them free [03:36.00] They would not listen, they're not listening still [03:41.46] [03:43.73] Perhaps they never will [03:47.51]
