5. Starry, Starry nightpaint your palette blue and grey

6. look out on a summer's day

7. with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.Shadows on the hills,

8. sketch the trees and the daffodils,catch the breeze and the winter chills

9. in colors on the snowy linen land.And now I understand

10. what you tried to say to me

11. how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how

12. perhaps they'll listen now.

13. Starry, starry nightflaming flowers that brightly blaze

14. swirling clouds in violet haze reflect inVincent's eyes of China blue.

15. Colors changing hue

16. morning fields of amber grain

17. weathered faces lined in pain

18. are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.And now I understand

19. what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free.

20. perhaps they'll listen now.They would not listen, they did not know how

21. For they could not love you

22. but still your love was true and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night.

23. 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.

24. Starry, starry night

25. portraits hung in empty halls

26. frameless heads on nameless walls

27. with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.Like the stranger that you've met

28. the ragged men in ragged clothes

29. the silver thorn of bloddy roselie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

30. And now I think I knowwhat you tried to say to mehow you suffered for your sanity

31. how you tried to set them free.They would not listen, they're not list'ning still...

32. perhaps they never will.
