But still your love was true
You took your life as lovers often do
Look out on a summers day
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Perhaps they'll listen now
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
They would not listen, they did not know how
Swirling clouds in violet haze
This world was never meant
Starry, starry night
Shadows on the hills
Morning fields of amber grain
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
On that starry, starry night
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
In colors on the snowy linen land
Perhaps they'll listen now
Colors changing hue
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free
And when no hope was left inside
They would not listen, they did not know how
But I could've told you, Vincent
For they could not love you
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
How you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
