Vincent (Cover)

[Verse 1] Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness of my soul Shadows on the hill Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land [Chorus] Now I understand what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They did not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now [Verse 2] Starry, starry night Flaming flowers brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue And the colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand [Chorus] Now I understand what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They did not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now [Bridge] For they could not love you Still your love was true How when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life, as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you [Verse 3] Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless head on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met Oh the ragged men in the ragged clothes And the silver thorn of bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow [Outro] 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 did not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
