night paint your pallete blue and grey
Look out on a summers day with eyes tha know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen the did not know how perhaps they 'll listen now
Starry starry nite flamings flowr's that brightly blaze
Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect in VIncents eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue,morning fields of amber graing
Weatherd faces lined inpain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
Chorus
For the could not love you but still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry nite
You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vinvent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls with i's that watch the world and cant forget
Like
the strangers that youve met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow
chorous
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen theyre not listening still perhaps they never will
