Starry Starry Night (vincent) by Chloe Agnew
Starry Starry Night (vincent) lyrics
Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
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
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
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
chorus
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 have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and cant forget,
Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man 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
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.
