Vincent |
Starry, starry night |
Paint your palette blue and gray |
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 colors on the snowy linen land |
Now I understand |
What you tried to say to me |
And how you suffered for your sanity |
And how you tried to set them free |
They would not listen |
They did not know how |
Perhaps they’ll listen now |
Starry, starry night |
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze |
Swirling clouds in violet haze |
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue |
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 |
And how you suffered for your sanity |
And how you tried to set them free |
They would not listen |
They did not know how |
Perhaps they’ll listen now |
For they could not love you |
But 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 in empty halls |
Frame-less 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 of bloody rose |
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow |
Now I think I know |
What you tried to say to me |
And 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 |
