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