"Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)"

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 daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter
chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you
tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And 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 and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes
of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving
hand

Now I understand What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered
for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not
love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
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

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

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And
how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They
would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never
will...

the first time i heard this song was in sec 3? i think.. when a teacher played it for us in class..i only vaguely remembered that the song sounded hauntingly sad then ...
