  Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
  Look out on a summers day,with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
  Shadows on the hills,sketch the trees and daffodils
  Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colours on the snowy linen land

  And now I understand what you tried to say to me
  How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free
  They would not listen,they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now

[Verse 2]

  Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
  Swirling clouds in violet haze, reflecting Vincent's eyes of China blue
  Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
  Weathered faces lined with pain are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

  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 sometimes 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
  Fearless 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


[Chorus]

  And now I understand what you tried to say to me
  How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free
  They would not listen, they're not listening still
  Perhaps they never will.
