[00:00.14]Lyrics by:Don McLean
[00:00.28]Starry starry night
[00:05.79]Paint your palette blue and grey
[00:10.88]Look out on a Summer's day
[00:14.69]With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
[00:19.37]Shadows on the hills
[00:24.71]Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[00:30.62]Catch the breeze and the Winter chills
[00:34.68]In colors on the snowy linen land
[00:41.29]Now I understand
[00:47.37]What you tried to say to me
[00:51.93]How you suffered for your sanity
[00:57.93]How you tried to set them free
[01:01.01]Would not listen they did not know how
[01:07.42]Perhaps they'll listen now
[01:13.32]Starry starry night
[01:18.68]Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
[01:24.18]Swirling clouds in violet haze
[01:28.88]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[01:34.11]Colors changing hue
[01:38.46]Morning fields of amber grain
[01:43.96]Weathered faces lined in pain
[01:48.51]Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[01:53.21]Now I understand
[01:59.12]What you tried to say to me
[02:04.04]How you suffered for your sanity
[02:10.08]How you tried to set them free
[02:13.43]Would not listen they did not know how
[02:20.02]Perhaps they'll listen now
[02:23.57]For they could not love you
[02:29.06]Still your love was true
[02:35.58]And when no hope was left in sight
[02:39.49]On that starry starry night
[02:42.93]You took your life as lovers often do
[02:49.51]But I could have told you Vincent
[02:53.74]This world was never meant for one
[02:56.80]As beautiful as you
[03:04.28]Starry starry night
[03:10.85]Portraits hung in empty halls
[03:16.13]Frameless heads on nameless walls
[03:20.70]With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[03:25.41]Like the strangers that you've met
[03:30.76]The ragged men in the ragged clothes
[03:37.51]The silver thorn a bloody rose
[03:42.40]Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[03:48.81]Now I think I know
[03:55.60]What you tried to say to me
[04:02.00]How you suffered for your sanity
[04:08.76]How you tried to set them free
[04:13.12]Would not listen they're not listening still
[04:21.66]Perhaps they never will
