Starry
2
Starry night
3
Paint your palette blue and grey
4
Look out on a summer's day
5
With eyes that know the
6
Darkness in my soul.
7
Shadows on the hills
8
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
9
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
10
In colors on the snowy linen land.
11
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
12
How you suffered for your sanity
13
How you tried to set them free.
14
They would not listen
15
They did not know how
16
Perhaps they'll listen now.
17
Starry
18
Starry night
19
Flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze
20
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
21
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
22
Colors changing hue
23
Morning fields of amber grain
24
Weathered faces lined in pain
25
Are soothed beneath the artist's
26
Loving hand.
27
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
28
How you suffered for your sanity
29
How you tried to set them free.
30
Perhaps they'll listen now.
31
For they could not love you
32
But still your love was true
33
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry
34
Starry night.
35
You took your life
36
As lovers often do;
37
But I could have told you
38
Vincent
39
This world was never
40
Meant for one
41
As beautiful as you.
42
Starry
43
Starry night
44
Portraits hung in empty halls
45
Frameless heads on nameless walls
46
With eyes
47
That watch the world and can't forget.
48
Like the stranger that you've met
49
The ragged men in ragged clothes
50
The silver thorn of bloody rose
51
Lie crushed and broken
52
On the virgin snow.
53
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
54
How you suffered for your sanity
55
How you tried to set them free.
56
They would not listen
57
They're not
58
List'ning still
59
Perhaps they never will.
